program Description:

Each class will begin with a comprehensive dance-focused warm-up, followed by across-the-floor technique exercises and choreography sessions. Over the eight sessions, dancers will progress through beginner to intermediate tap dancing skills. The classroom environment is inviting and fun, encouraging all students to enhance their dance technique, regardless of experience level. Students will receive both individual instruction and collaborate with peers to further their learning. Tap shoes are required for all classes.Students will need to have tap shoes for all classes.
