About Tap Dancing
Tap dancing is one of the greatest feel good dances you’ll ever encounter and the greatest thing about it is that you can learn it surprisingly fast. Even by the end of a couple of our classes you will be able to dance a short and simple routine that will sound good. It makes everyone smile and is enchanting when it’s done well. Tap dance teachers are some of the most fun, energetic, enthusiastic people that you will ever meet and that is exactly what you will find at our school. Our tap teachers will keep breaking into little bursts of super fast tap steps to keep you motivated and entertained. Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer’s shoe. Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation and choreography that typically starts on the first or eighth beat count. Another aspect of tap dancing is improvisation. This can either be done with music (and follow the beats provided) or without musical accompaniment (otherwise known as acappella dancing).
