Tap
Children are encouraged to start tap classes at the age of 4 when they are established in their ballet class.
Tap dancing develops musicality, the use of the body as a percussive instrument, and an understanding of rhythm, accent and syncopation. It requires concentration, mobility of the foot and leg, and control and balance of the whole body to achieve good percussive footwork. It is not as easy as it looks!
Pre-juvenile Tap
This introductory class uses fun music to establish basic rhythm and steps
Graded Examinations
The School uses the Graded Tap Syllabus of the International Dance Teachers Association, starting with Preparatory, then progressing through Primary, and Grades 1 to 5
Children are entered for examinations at all levels, and an external examiner visits the school.
