Junior/Intermediate Tap
Suggested age: 7+
In this class we build on the basics learned in intro to tap and learn the names of specific steps. More emphasis is placed on learning the combination of sounds to create new steps and listening to the beat of the music. Much of dance is learned by repetition, and tap is no exception. Dancers will use the invaluable tool of repetition to grow and learn in this class.
Taking things to the next level, intermediate tap is for dancers who are ready to challenge themselves. We focus on more complicated steps, challenging rhythms, and syncopation. Not only will dancers learn more about tap, they will also gain a deeper understanding of music as they continue to learn how to use their bodies as instruments.
