With roots in African, Irish and English dance traditions, Tap is a fun, rhythmic and percussive genre where dancers use shoes with steel plates on the toes and heels to tap rhythms on the floor.
Our Beginners/Improvers class is a great way to improve your balance and coordination while learning rhythm and musicality to a great soundtrack of Swing, Jazz, Funk and Soul. This class caters to dancers working at beginner / improver level in Tap. If you are a beginner, it is recommended you use the course option.
Tap into your inner rhythm!
Please wear comfortable clothing and tap shoes. Don’t forget to bring your bottle of water!
