2024-2025 Dance Classes
Tap Classes (Ages 4 to Adult)
We offer a comprehensive tap program (beginner through advanced) that covers the wide range of tap styles, from vintage Broadway-style tap to the newest trends in rhythm tap.
Tap dance is about footwork, rhythm, and taking dance beyond the visual to the auditory. We teach dancers how to use their feet as percussive instruments to create sounds as they dance, and our tap classes stress the key elements of timing, rhythm, and musicality.
Our 2024-2025 dance year is divided into two sessions: Session 1 runs September 9, 2024 through January 18, 2025, and Session 2 runs February 3, 2025 through June 7, 2025.
