Class Levels:

Absolute Beginner: Discover the world of tap dance with this introductory class designed for newcomers or those returning after a hiatus. Learn fundamental steps like paradiddles, cramp rolls, shuffles, and flaps, along with mastering the basic time step. Through focused technique practice, drills, and small combinations, you’ll build a strong foundation to groove with confidence.

Perfect for those with some with some prior tap experience and familiarity with tap basics from absolute beginner. We’ll focus on refining technique, practicing drills, and learning short combinations. You will also develop your speed to prepare for the Beginner level.

Beginner: Join our beginner class to progress your tap dancing, ideal for students with a minimum of a year experience. Build upon your foundational knowledge with longer sequences and tackle more challenging musical phrasing. It’s the perfect opportunity to refine your technique and skills, while expanding your repertoire in a supportive environment.

Advanced Beginner: Elevate your tap skills and join a vibrant community of dancers in this class tailored for those with a minimum of three years’ experience. As we challenge your skills to the next level, you’ll advance your vocabulary and learn complex choreographic phrases. With an emphasis on musicality and precision, we’ll explore more advanced techniques including pickups, wings, turns, and increased speed, all within a supportive and encouraging community of like-minded dancers.
