Tap Dance Classes

Tap is a style of dance distinguished by percussive footwork that marks out precise rhythmic patterns on the floor. Tap is a lot of fun and a great aerobic dance style. The sound is created from plates attached to both the ball and heel of a dancer’s shoes. Tap has been made famous by Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire and our own Australian Tap Dogs.
