IN STUDIO -- Beginning Tap 2

About this class

PLEASE NOTE : For Introduction to Tap, please click on the Enrollments/Courses Tab. Thank you. Beginning 2 These beginning classes refine and expand upon existing technique and essentials of the Intro to Tap class. Increased fluency and comfort in beginning level material means that the classroom pace picks up. Combinations and choreography utilize greater rhythmic sophistication and asymmetrical movement. Rhythm drills prepare students for improvisation. Relevant tap history is always integrated into each class. Students should be able to perform shuffles, flaps, all manner of thirds, a few varieties of paddle and roll patterns, and experience with the tap historical vernacular: elements of the Shim Sham Shimmy, some timesteps, shuffle off to Buffalo, Cincinnati, drawbacks, crawls, Irish (shuffle hop step), waltz clogs, etc.
