Tap is a vigorous and upbeat dance style based on rhythm and sound. It owes its roots to Black America as a way to create music with the body and connect with deities in the ground. Tap requires a unique way of moving when compared to the Ballet-based styles (Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary).

Dance Alive Studios was created in the summer of 2017 to meet the changing needs of adult dancers in the Saskatoon community. Caelia Gardiner, the owner and Artistic Director of DAS, developed the adult dance program at Juliette’s Dance Centre from 2011 to 2017.
This program has become unique in the field – it provides aspiring adult dancers with progressive levels of focused training at their desired level. Recreational dance is the common stream, but more intense training opportunities are available upon request (group and solo competition, examination, teacher training, etc.).
Tap dance has roots in dancing such as the Juba Dance, Clogging & Irish Step. By the mid 1900’s, Irish and British clogging steps were combined to create “buck and wing”, which became Modern Tap.
We follow the ADAPT (Foley) Syllabus in our Tap program. The emphasis in Tap is on creating rhythms using our feet and body as our instrument.
