This workshop, open to all, explores foundational tap combinations rooted in the golden age of tap dance. Participants learn essential rhythmic patterns and footwork combinations that form the building blocks of tap technique, including shuffles, flaps, cramp rolls, paddle and rolls, and time steps. The focus is on developing clean technique, musicality, and understanding how these combinations connect to jazz rhythms and improvisation.

The Copasetics were a legendary social club founded in 1949 to honor Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, featuring tap masters like Charles “Honi” Coles, James “Buster” Brown, and others.
