“Tap” is a percussive style of dance. Special shoes are worn by tap dancers to
create various rhythms on the floor. While the rest of the body is still crucial to this art
form, and general balance and grace are important, the fundamental characteristic of “Tap” is
the sound it creates. There are different styles of this dance form, from the more classical form associated with the Rockettes, to a more modern, aggressive style called “hoofing”. Our “Tap” classes include tap-barre, center exercises, tap- turns both center and across the floor, and extensive rhythmic combination training. Our students will have an overall comprehension of rhythm, tap technique and terminology which will greatly enhance their coordination skills.
