A bit about our tap and modern classes
Children's tap and modern
Our tap and modern class is a combined class, it is great for rhythm and co-ordination and for developing fundamental dance technique. Modern theatre is a rhythmic dance style often seen in musical productions. This dance styles uses travelling sequences, kicks, leaps and turns. With its theatrical qualities it compliments Tap dancing which is often seen in stage shows.
Exams
We follow the I.S.T.D Tap dance syllabus and the I.S.T.D Modern Theatre syllabus. We offer examinations for both genres where we progress through the grades from primary level to grade 6.
Adult's tap
We also offer Adult Tap dancing. This class is for beginners to the more advanced tap dancer with previous experience. Each week we work on technique as well as learning a short routine to finish the class.
