Class Description
This intermediate class allows dancers of all ages to expand their existing knowledge of fundamental tap steps and technique, with a focus on rhythm and musicality. How far can we push our current skill, and how fun can we make it?
We’ll look at how our cramp rolls, time steps, paddles and pick ups can be used to create different rhythms and compliment various genres of music – from 60s jazz standards to the latest releases.
Every class will include a warm up, short rudiments, and a routine – see you there!
