Tap
Ages 6–Adult
Come Ready to Dance!
Tap is a dynamic dance style centered around rhythm, musicality, intricate footwork, and individual style. Dancers use their feet as instruments, creating sounds and patterns that become part of the music.
Tap is also a wonderful way to keep the mind and body engaged. Learning combinations, remembering patterns, responding to music, and coordinating movement challenge memory, focus, and cognitive agility at every age.

Ready to Find Your Rhythm?
Tap is about more than learning steps. Dancers learn to listen, count, remember, respond to music, and develop their own rhythmic voice.
For our adult dancers, tap is also a joyful way to keep learning, stay active, challenge the brain, and connect with a community.
Come ready to listen. Come ready to move. Come ready to make some noise!
