Tap
Adult Tap
This adult tap class offers a vibrant and dynamic way to reconnect with the joy of dance. In this lively environment, participants of various skill levels come together to master rhythm and technique through energetic footwork and syncopated beats. The class typically begins with a warm-up to loosen the body and increase flexibility, followed by a series of progressively challenging tap combinations and routines. With a focus on both technical precision and expressive performance, adults can enjoy a full-body workout while also fostering a sense of camaraderie and creative expression. Whether revisiting a childhood passion or discovering tap for the first time, students leave the class with a renewed appreciation for the rhythm and grace of this classic dance form.
