a couple of simple tap routines each
week, to popular mainstream music. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Junior
tap is for both kids who’ve done
a little tap, as well as the beginners
of this age group who want to “get
their tap on!” Kids will practice
tap basics on the barre, as well as
doing some more challenging centre tap
work and corner tap sequences to improve
their tap skills. Kids will also work
on some intermediate level tap sequences
to popular music. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This
tap class is based more at experienced
tappers who want to improve their tap
skills and work on some challenging
centre and corner work sequences. Sweat
and fitness will be there for you! Fun,
tap/cabaret routines and tap/funk routines
are the kinds of dances you’ll
be working on each week. We will contemplate
splitting the class into two depending
on the different tap levels we get for
this group. If in doubt, come along! |
