In this ongoing course students will learn entry level tap fundamentals, moves, and terminology. Each class is grounded in encouragement and LOTS OF FUN! WHAT TO EXPECT: Students will begin class with a rhythm exercise, followed by a warmup, and an introduction to tap moves/terminology in center floor. Finally, learners will engage in a patiently demonstrated sample routine to their favorite movie hits! And by the end of class your learner will be gracefully doing the dance effortlessly. HOW TO PREPARE: Students are asked to dress casually, find an open space, and be prepared for an unforgettable class! Tap shoes are recommend, but optional* CLASS EXPECTATIONS/MUTING: While I do my best to encourage participation from learners enrolled in my classes. Learners will be muted following introductions (discussion likely opened again during exit in which you may choose to leave prior) due to background noise that cannot be prevented and it’s interferences with music/instruction.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of foundational Tap moves, verbiage, technique and proper execution based on their age range.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Adult supervision throughout class is required, as there is always a level of risk associated with any physical activity.
Please have a space cleared of debris and clutter (minimum 4X4 ft square) so your learner can move about freely and safely.
Tap Shoes are preferred for this class as well as a hard surface so I can hear the sounds you are making with your feet!
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
