Make music with your feet through this percussive dance form that combines rhythm, coordination, and showmanship. Tap dancing builds ankle strength, cardiovascular fitness, and musicality while teaching complex rhythmic patterns. Start with basic steps (shuffle, flap, ball-change) using tap shoes with metal plates that create distinct sounds.
Classes progress to faster combinations, improvisation, and choreography. Tap connects you to jazz history, vaudeville tradition, and legends like Fred Astaire and Savion Glover. It's challenging mental and physical exercise—coordinating feet, listening to rhythm, and remembering sequences. Great for all ages, though floors need to be wood or tap-friendly.
