We’re now into Series III of Tap, Move, Balance where we’ll continue to review and learn basic tap steps via exercise drills and in dance combinations.

Learn the basics of American tap dancing while also improving your posture, coordination and flexibility. Classes are held on Thursdays at Planet Dance, the school run by former world champion, Fabrice Martin. It has special tap floors installed to protect dancers’ feet and knees from impact. There are separate changing rooms with showers.

The class program begins with strengthening and coordination exercises. We then focus on learning specific tap steps which are worked into a routine set to music. We finish the class with stretching exercises to increase flexibility. Don’t forget to bring your own yoga mat and yoga strap for the stretching exercises.
