Tap Technique (3+ Years of Tap Experience)
For the dedicated tapper looking to take their skills to the next level, this class focuses on strengthening advanced technique while celebrating the joy of rhythm and sound. Students will sharpen clarity, speed, and musicality through challenging combinations, across-the-floor progressions, and complex rhythmic patterns. With an emphasis on performance quality and precision, dancers will expand their tap vocabulary and push themselves to grow both technically and creatively.
