Our Tap classes focus on teaching students classical tap steps, rhythm and technique. Teachers are all highly experienced dance education professionals. Classes are kept small so that each student receives lots of personal attention.

Class consists of warm-up, stretching, steps and combinations. We emphasize technique, proper alignment and safety and take into consideration the individual physicality of each student.

The benefits of our Tap classes include increasing conditioning, strength, musicality, flexibility and coordination.

Exciting performance opportunities

Our younger students are showcased in our annual Junior Division Holiday and Spring Recitals and students in elementary through high school have the opportunity to perform in our annual Senior Division Holiday and Spring Recitals.
