Tap dance is an intricate style of dance. Your feet are creating rhythms complementary to the music, while at the same time your entire body is performing for the audience. In our “Dance: The Cutting Edge- Rhythm & Tap Series”, we ensure that students learn the building blocks of tap, which are the three main parts of the feet: Toe, Ball, and Heel. With an understanding of these three-basic elements, Tap transforms into complex, stylized, syncopated fun as you play with patterns, tempos, rhythms, and discover how to make even more sounds from various parts of your feet. This series gives you a total of 192 new steps!
