Tap class is fun for all ages. The footwork, beginning with
simple rhythms and sounds, quickly advances to more complex
techniques. Tap vocabulary is emphasized and styles including
waltz clog, soft-shoe, Latin, musical theater, jazz-tap, and
percussive tap. Tap focuses on musical phrasing and the
complexity of rhythms with less emphasis on the visual part and
more on the challenge of "making melodies" with the feet. Most
often, tap is danced to jazz based music such as Swing, Big
Band, Bebop, Funk and Latin styles.
