Build rhythm and confidence through structured tap dance courses
Explore programs arrow_rightStarting with rhythm basics
The foundation course introduces 7 essential tap techniques over 12 weeks. You learn basic steps like shuffles, flaps, and ball changes in structured 45-minute sessions. Each class builds on previous material with immediate video feedback showing posture adjustments and timing corrections. Students record their practice between sessions and compare progress against baseline recordings from week one. By the end of this level, you execute 3 full combinations at varying tempos without losing count or balance. The approach emphasizes muscle memory through repetition rather than complex choreography too early in your development.
- Weekly technique drills with recording feedback
- Step-by-step breakdown of 7 fundamental movements
- Rhythm exercises synchronized with metronome practice
- Assessment videos submitted every 3 weeks
- Access to slow-motion reference clips for form correction
Expanding movement vocabulary
Intermediate training incorporates syncopation and dynamic variations across 16 weeks of instruction. You develop 12 additional steps including wings, pullbacks, and time steps while maintaining clarity at faster speeds. Classes shift from isolated technique to combination work with musical phrasing from jazz standards and contemporary tracks. Participants learn to count in different time signatures and adapt movement quality to match song mood. Video assignments require recording yourself to 4 different songs demonstrating range in speed and style. This stage prepares you for improvisation by solidifying both technical precision and musical awareness through targeted exercises.
- Combination sequences integrating 12 new steps
- Musical analysis connecting rhythm to phrasing
- Performance recordings with varied tempo selections
- Peer review sessions for constructive feedback
- Introduction to improvisation structure and patterns
Refining performance and creative work
Advanced students complete a 20-week program focusing on personal style development and stage-ready execution. You create original choreography lasting 2 minutes or longer while exploring complex rhythms like paradiddles and polyrhythms. Classes introduce subtle elements such as dynamic contrast, spatial awareness, and audience engagement techniques beyond pure footwork. The final project involves recording a full performance that demonstrates technical range, musical interpretation, and personal voice as a tap dancer. Instructors provide detailed written notes on clarity, energy control, and creative choices throughout your submission. This level assumes you already have solid foundational skills and aims to push artistic boundaries within the tap tradition.
- Original choreography development with instructor guidance
- Advanced rhythm patterns and polyrhythmic exercises
- Stage presence workshops with performance recording
- Creative exploration sessions for developing unique style
- Final project with detailed written feedback on execution
