Tap Beginners (Adults)

Class description: Unleash your inner Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers in classic Broadway style. Tap originated in the United States through the fusion of several ethnic percussive dances, primarily African tribal dances and Scottish, Irish, and English hornpipes, clog dances and jigs. It uses taps to beat out rhythms and can be danced either without music We cover all the basic steps, learn how to dance in time to music and how to memorise and perform routines.

Who is it for? Adults of all ages, beginners welcome

What should I wear? Loose comfortable clothing and tap shoes if you have them. If not you can hire them from Dance City if we have your size.
