TAP BASICS I

Join me in a 10-week exploration into tap dance! This class develops the foundation of tap dance, and is designed as a beginner-level introduction into basic tap dance steps and themes.

We’ll start with these basic steps: 

• Using our full foot
• Toes and Heels
• Shuffles
• Flaps

Then, we’ll develop on those themes:

• Cramp rolls
• Rolling shuffles
• Paddles (or Paradittles)
• Time Steps

The class will culminate with two exciting pieces of choreography that will challenge and expand your tap dance knowledge!

Each module includes both a discussion of the new step (where we learn technique and best practices), and an exercise (where we will learn a brief combination that strengthens our understanding of the new step).

By the end of this course, you will have the tools you need to be a confident tap dancer in an audition or school setting, and you’ll have the spark to continue your tap dance growth and exploration, and further your development as a dancer and performer!
