Teen/Adult Beginning Tap

16-up

A teen/adult Tap dance class for basic to advanced dancers.

Students will strengthen leg muscles, and develop a good sense for rhythm and basic movement coordination, while emphasizing clean Tap sounds.

For students with previous Tap experience, this class provides an opportunity to refresh and enrich their Tap knowledge and execute more challenging combinations. Students will explore more rhythms and a larger variety of movements. The technique warm-up will be extended. The main goals of this class are to further improve the sense of rhythm and dance coordination through movements and to experience a great cardiovascular workout in a fun and enjoyable dance environment.
