Tap Dance Improvers 1 Classes

About this course

Participants develop tap technique through warm-ups, cool-downs and short routines, with particular attention to posture, spatial awareness, weight transference and body isolation. Exercises also work on coordinating the arms, feet and head, while musical theatre choreography brings together footwork, timing and performance. The class includes practice of tap steps such as the single shuffle time step, including performing in unison with others. Constructive feedback is used during the sessions, and participants work towards a short showcase for friends and family.
