Tap training
helps to increase leg and core strength, musicality and rhythm, and
showmanship. Tap class is a fun and exciting way to explore dance movement
and learn basic through advanced steps. It also helps to improve coordination
and teamwork skills. Tap dancing is a great compliment to any dancer wishing
to perform in musicals or play a musical instrument because of its important
concentration on musicality and rhythm. Tap dancing helps students to find
their inner performer and challenges the student to open up and become a
versatile performer. Tap dancing focuses on learning complex patterns of foot
movement, changes in tempo and different methods of weight transfer while
dancing in order to produce a certain sound or look that accompanies the type
of choreography or steps that the students are working on in class.
