TAP.

  • Tap is a rhythmic style of dance that uses the sounds created by tap shoes as a form of percussion. Dancers develop rhythm, timing, coordination, musicality, and clarity of sound while learning tap vocabulary, footwork, and combinations. As dancers progress, they work with increasingly intricate rhythms and choreography while developing confidence and precision.

  • Girls – Petite & Mini:
    Any color leotard with black or tan tights. Pink tights may be worn if coming directly from ballet class. Dance shorts may be worn over the leotard. Black Mary Jane-style tap shoes are required.
