2025-2026 Dance Classes

Encore Tap for age 9 to 12 focuses on a variety of tap styles, including the two most popular styles: Broadway Tap and Rhythm Tap. The class covers tap fundamentals, including rhythm, technique, steps, and terminology, with an increased focus on rhythm and style. A variety of music is used, and sometimes no music is used and dancers tap "a cappella" (with no musical accompaniment) to better hear the sounds made by various tap steps.
