We offer classes for all ages and abilities that are taught in a safe and supportive environment.
Overview:
Tap is an energetic and unique style of dance. The rhythm and movement of tap, created by the metal taps on the heels and toes of a dancer’s shoes, transforms the dancer into a percussive musician.
Tap dance emphasizes the flow of movement by teaching the dancer to find rhythms and beats not only in music but in their own bodies.
Tap dancing is all about timing and we like to make all our classes interesting, challenging, and extremely enjoyable.
We offer classes for all ages and abilities that are taught in a safe and supportive environment.
In this class we explore every style from the more traditional Fred Astaire routines to musicals like 42nd Street, Billy Elliot or Tap Dogs.

Our concerts are a great way for students to improve their performance skills and build confidence. We are always looking for performance opportunities for our students, in previous years we have been lucky to be apart of the Credit Union Christmas Pageant, Competitions (CanDance, SASDS, SA Dance Competitions), OLOG Spring Fair, and other fundraising events.
After many requests we are excited to now offer tap classes for all ages! We have timetabled tap classes to make it super easy and cost effective to do multiple styles.
The class consists of a warm up at the barre followed by corner and centre work, finishing with choreography utilising steps they have learned from the syllabus.
We teach both freestyle tap focusing on timing, light and shade, style and performance and for the technical elements we teach a more traditional style of tap.
Lake Macquarie Dance Centre has qualified teachers in tap dance to help students turn dance movements into a rhythmic percussion-like display.
We have a unique and distinct tap style that combines raw street style, inspired by the Tap Dogs, with modern tap techniques.
