This is the perfect class for the tap dancer who has studied at least a couple years of Tap, but isn’t quite ready for the speed and technical skill demanded at the Adv level. Students will practice exercises that take familiar steps and ideas and recontextualizes them rhythmically, musically and pattern-wise. Short dance combinations are often a part of this class, along with a short Tap and/or Jazz Music History lecture devoted to learning about the history of this Black American dance form. The ability to execute steps with greater speed and finesse as well as picking up and remembering material are just some of the benefits of this class.
