Core Tap
Tap is a uniquely American dance form that grew out of African, Irish and Latin folk music and dance traditions. Tap is a percussive style of dance that uses rhythmic footwork to make sounds, rhythms and melodies while creating steps and choreography. Dancers will learn a combination of more traditional Broadway style Tap and Rhythm Tap. Dancers will focus on learning basic Tap rhythms skills and vocabulary while having fun and engaging their minds and bodies. All core Tap classes begin in September and culminate in a year-end performance in May.
Fall classes begin September 14, 2019
Classes culminate in our Annual Concert on May 31, 2020
