Tap

Tap is the one form of dance where the student is following the exact beat of the music and where each student can definitely develop a sense of rhythm and timing. The quick footwork acquired through tap dancing enhances balance, coordination and control. Classes will include correct tap terminology, developing musicality and rhythm through motion. Tap is an American art form and has many different styles. The taps are an instrument. Learn to play the instrument so you can master the art form.
