Class starts with a warm-up, then we go across the floor or have a "tweak and clean" session. Typically we will do a canon, cross rhythm, or, on proper occasion, a phase. We finally finish up with a combination that would properly fit our class. "You can NOT show your students something, you have to be able to teach it to them." Since I try to practice what I preach, I properly break down a step, give you both the counts and tap terms, and take the time to treat transitions with the attention the are sometimes lacking. My hope is that you leave class feeling like you really learned something and have a possible new found love and appreciation for tap.
Come learn the signature piece "Lucky to be Alive," performed at Rockaway Beach Boardwalk for National Tap Dance Day every year. This class is recommended for advanced beginners through advanced tap dancers and will be centered around choreography.
