I aim to facilitate a creative, supportive environment where you can find your own individuality in tap dance. We’ll begin with a call and response warm-up to get your body and mind connected. From there, we’ll dive into foundational rudiments and/or drills to enhance your muscle memory and technique. Then, we’ll jump into a combo, blending elements of musical theatre and rhythm tap. Magic happens when you breathe and dance with your heart; not worrying about making mistakes.
