Hi I am Jovon Miller and I am excited to guide you, and your student, along their dance journey via private lessons!  I welcome students of all levels and abilities from those just starting to students at a professional level. Private tap dance lessons are curated for each individual student that I teach. I meet each student where they are at as individuals and we work together to create customized goals and lesson plans. For private lessons, I view the student, their parent/guardian, and myself as a team working together as a pivotal part of the learning process.  


LEARN THE BASICS OF TAP
Learn the Basics of Tap: You'll learn the names (yes, the moves have names), definitions, and counts for each move, with detailed instructions on the specific muscle groups and body angles needed to produce the perfect sound or effect. For more advanced dancers we will really dig into each step and movement to create a solid foundation for their dancing.

ROUTINES
The way I teach routines involves a step-by-step guide that includes breaking down, counting, and explaining in detail the various rhythms, phrases, and moves. This approach will enhance your musicality, elevating your dance performances and understanding of music to new heights. We'll also cover parts of some famous tap dances!

ELEMENTS OF IMPROVISATION AND MUSICALITY
Go beyond the basics and deepen your appreciation for music theory. Learn the intricacies and qualities of music, and apply them to your improvisation, adapting both old and new movements without restricting the art form. You will be provided with practice methods and guidance to enhance your learning experience

TAP DANCE & AMERICAN HISTORY
Tap is one of the original American-made art forms. I'll guide you through its beginnings, introduce you to various tap legends, and show you that tap history is American history!

WHY PRIVATE LESSONS ARE SPECIAL:
I've spent years refining how to teach tap, creating a new system and methodology that offers an astonishing in-depth look at each move, combination, dance, and song. Each lesson may also be part lecture, allowing you to dive deeper into various subjects, ask questions, and gain invaluable context.

All of my lessons are interactive, allowing students to ask questions freely. Typically, we start with a warm-up session, followed by a review of previous steps and an introduction to new ones. During lessons, we deeply explore the rich history of tap dancing, comprehend the significance of each movement, learn the names of individual moves, understand their execution in detail, and delve into their practical applications. I utilize a variety of methods (such as deliberate practicing methods, and learning the names of bones and muscles) and media (including video, audio, and apps) to propel my students to the next level.

I'm down-to-earth, and my approach focuses on building up students with practical skills. I'm proficient in creating small, achievable goals to bridge the gap to bigger and more ambitious dance goals. I'm here for you, guiding and coaching you toward your dream. So, if you're ready to learn how to tap with what you've already got, sign up today!
