Description:

Tap dance melds dance with music and has a strong focus on percussive patterning. Dancers wear tap shoes (shoes with small metals plates attached to both the toes and heels) which allow them to create sounds and rhythms with their feet. Tap dance has a rich history, and many different styles of tap have been developed over the years. Teachers will work on several of these styles, as well as encourage each student’s understanding of dance as a performance art.
