Tap

Ages 4-Teens

AYDT’s tap program focuses on learning classical tap steps, rhythm and technique. The class consists of a warm-up, stretching, and building a vocabulary of steps and combinations. All students have the opportunity to perform in our Holiday and Spring Recitals. Tap students are strongly encouraged to also take a weekly ballet or Broadway class to complement their training.
