Intro to Tap Series

Our Intro to Tap Series offers three unique 6-week courses designed to introduce adults to the fundamentals of tap dance. Each course explores rhythm, musicality, footwork, and terminology through clear instruction and supportive practice.
Courses are not sequential—you may begin with any one of the three.

Intro to Tap: Time Steps

What to Expect:
This beginner-friendly course introduces you to classic tap time steps and foundational rhythms. You’ll break down essential movements step-by-step, learning how to shift weight, maintain posture, and build coordination.

What You’ll Learn:

• Basic time steps and rhythm patterns

• Drills for timing, clarity, and musicality

• How tap sounds fit into music

• Short combinations to help you practice transitions

By the End:
You’ll feel comfortable executing core time steps, counting tap rhythms, and moving with the beat—giving you the confidence to keep growing in your tap journey.

Learn how to move in heels with alignment, confidence, and control. This foundational course introduces proper mechanics for dancing in heels, focusing on posture, core engagement, weight distribution, ankle strength, hip pathway control, and clean lines.

Dancers will explore fundamental drills including heel walks (strut, catwalk, and groove-based walking patterns), foot articulation in heels, hip initiation, controlled transitions, turns in heels, and basic floor awareness. Each week develops both technique and performance quality, emphasizing safety, intention, and personal expression.

Students will apply their technical practice to choreography, working toward a short piece built gradually over the 6-week session. Beyond movement, the course emphasizes confidence, character-building, and interpretation, helping dancers discover their own style in heels — whether sultry, fierce, soft, or bold.

Goal:
To build safe, confident heels technique and expressive performance skills while working toward a final piece that highlights individual style and intention.

Who this is good for:
Beginners (ages 18+) who love music videos, commercial dance, or want to feel more empowered and expressive on stage or socially. Perfect for those curious about dance in heels, whether brand new to movement or transitioning from hip hop, jazz, or ballroom. No experience required — just a pair of heels you can move in and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Tap Level 2 Series

Continue developing your tap dance skills with our Intro to Tap Level 2 Series—three distinct 6-week courses designed for adults who have completed the Intro to Tap Series or have some entry-level tap experience. Each course helps build on the fundamentals of rhythm, footwork, musicality, and tap terminology taught in the Intro to Tap, gradually introducing more challenging combinations and expressive techniques. Dancers will strengthen timing, coordination, and musical interpretation, gaining confidence and artistry in slightly longer and more dynamic tap sequences. As with the Intro Series, each Intro to Tap Level 2 course can be taken in any order.

Intro to Tap Level 2: Time Steps

Theme: Expanding on time steps and tap combinations.

Focus: More varied time steps, simple transitions between steps, experimenting with tempo changes, posture, and musical phrasing.

Course Goal: Help dancers progress with time steps and transitions, using slightly longer combinations to improve rhythm, memory, and confidence. This course builds on foundational skills, introducing new patterns and helping dancers connect tap steps fluidly to music.

Who this course is for:
Designed for adults who have completed all Intro to Tap courses or have basic tap experience. Perfect for those wanting to explore additional time step variations, develop musical confidence, and strengthen core tap skills in a supportive environment.

This is a course that continues our as a progression from Level 2. Adults will enjoy learning Tap terminology, technique, and steps over this progressive session. Develop confidence, mental concentration, physical coordination and musicality. This registered course is for students who are new to Tap, students who want to dance, but never had the opportunity, and for those who have danced before and want to begin again.
