Tap

Tap (ages 7 and up)

Tap training enhances rhythmic dynamics, speed, and agility. More than another dance form, tap instills in the dancer an awareness of the music; its timing, rythmn and changes in energy.

Traditional and contemporary tap styles are taught, with a focus on total body movement, technical correctness, and performance quality. An understanding of musical theory is developed, as among dance forms, tap is probably the most intricately tied to the exact counts of the music.
