Should You Learn How to Tap?
Broadway Tap Puts on a Show
Tap dancing is a crowd-pleasing form of dance that’s fun to do and exciting to watch. Used in stage shows and musical films, it’s an entertaining and creative way to spend your time.
Our classes focus on Broadway tap, which incorporates arm movements and artistic body movements to tell a story.
Students learn tap basics and advanced movements, with a focus on precision and synchronization. Learn how to perform solo or in a group.
Become the Beat in Tap Class
Tap dancing is unique because the sounds dancers make with their feet becomes as much a part of the performance as the movements themselves. It’s a style that requires rhythm and a strong sense of musicality – and it teaches both if those aren’t skills you already have. Tap dancing is fun and social, with group performances and solos.
Benefits
Tap dancing is a style that allows dancers to perform alone, with a partner, or in a group. Its association with the musical theater makes it a useful style to learn for students who are interested in acting.
Working with a group helps to build communication skills and allows students of all ages to coordinate and cooperate with one another.
Students who take our tap classes build strength and flexibility. Tapping is especially good for the legs, feet, hips, knees, and ankles, but it’s also a terrific full-body workout.
Because tapping uses the entire lower body, it’s a great way to tone some of the largest muscles in your body, including the quads and glutes.
All forms of dance improve core strength because they all require balance and coordination. Tap is especially good for balance and posture because of the precision required to coordinate taps with other dancers.
While improving posture is good for your physically, it can also give your self-confidence a boost. It’s a win-win!
Some forms of dance can only be done on a studio or stage. Tap dancing is unique in that it’s equally at home on a stage or on the street.
Tap competitions can spring up anywhere and can easily turn into a social occasion for dancers and spectators alike.
