Tap is an exciting style of dance with a rich history dating back over a century that incorporates shoes equipped with metal “taps” to create percussive sounds along with rhythmic footwork.
Tap dance has the transformative power to make the body a dynamic sound machine! Each week when your child puts their tap shoes on they will feel a lively beat bubbling up inside of them.
As tap dancers, they will live, breathe, feel, and experience the playfulness, creativity, and wonder that comes from making music. Students will develop a deep understanding of phrasing and musical form, improve rhythm and co-ordination, and have a tremendously Loud amount of fun!
Classes follow a syllabus of studies that is routinely updated to ensure it is at the forefront of dance education.
Free House Dance Plus was founded in 1988 by director Kathie Bernard in answer to a need for a quality, non-competitive dance studio with a personalized, inclusive, feel-good environment.
In 1991, serendipity brought the school to its current excellent, bright, convenient location in the quiet inner-city residential community of Briar Hill. FREE HOUSE Dance Plus operates in a single use, purpose-built facility with 4 bright & open classrooms.
Nearby, our students enjoy plentiful amenity space, adjacency to a family-friendly park and a short two block walk to the Lion’s Park LRT station.
