Our tap classes focus on rhythm, timing and musicality. They are our loudest classes, where a dancer’s feet become a percussive instrument!

Common steps learnt are shuffles, wings and time-steps, leading into more complex rhythms, timing and variations in speed. Tap is an exploration of rhythm, the tapping footwork adds an additional layer of percussion, and detail, to the performance. The upper body plays a big role in the visual expression of tap dance. Tap often combines graceful movements of the arms and torso or the use of props with complex footwork. It’s an exciting genre with a strong emphasis on timing and musicality.
