beg./int. tap with becky

sunday 12:30-2:00


In this class, students will develop their tap technique while exploring different styles from Rhythm Tap to Broadway. Modifications are given throughout for students to adjust the difficulty of the steps and combinations, making this class accessible to many levels. 

Beginner: This class is designed for novice dancers or students who have not danced for many years. We will continue to emphasize proper posture, muscle development, flexibility, musicality, and grace of movement through beginner level combinations. Students are expected to know basic dance vocabulary and have a desire to improve their strength and technique.

Intermediate: Dancers with previous training will enjoy the transition into an intermediate level class. Students will progress at a quick yet comfortable pace while increasing strength and flexibility. Movement combinations are layered with multiple steps to refine and advance your dance technique on a pre-professional level.
