Fulfill a dream. Learn something new. Make music with your feet! TAP is for any age and can help strengthen legs and feet, improve balance, and benefit cognitive
functioning (it’s good for the brain!). Classes begin with a warmup and focus on learning single classic tap steps, then incorporating them into a series of combinations and short pieces of choreography. Each class is set to fun and lively music spanning several decades. Attire: Tap shoes and comfortable clothing.

Our Tap Program is based on the Al Gilbert Tap Syllabus. The Al Gilbert Graded Tap System simply makes teaching tap easy. Never has there been a system so organized and logical that has proven to effectively teach tap to young and old alike in such a fun and simple manner. There are 10 levels in all beginning with simple shuffles and flaps and progressing to more advanced wings and pullbacks. Each step is broken down in a systematic, fool-proof way making learning exact and easy. Each level builds upon steps that have been learned in previous levels. This syllabus routinely and properly trains each dancer to advance from beginning exercises to advanced combinations with ease.
Level I:
In this and the following levels, the dancer begins more ‘serious’ training, appropriate to their physical and intellectual maturity. The Level I dancer is an advanced beginner or graduate of our elementary program.
