Tap classes are based on the Association of International Dance Teachers syllabus. Founded in South Africa, the emphasis of this syllabus is on timing, rhythm and musicality. Students are placed according to age and ability.
Tap is based on learning rhythms of the feet with or without music. Understanding musicality is equally important as training the body!
Composed of both Jazz and Tap disciplines, this class will provide students the required skills to develop a strong sense of style and rhythm, with emphasis on flexibility. No previous experience necessary.
