What makes our classes different?
The ATDF classes offer children and teens a chance to become immersed in tap culture. Classes focus on the fundamentals of rhythm tap, including clean technique, classic and contemporary tap repertory, and improvisation skills. Tap history, films, jazz music, and special guests deepen students' appreciation of this great American art form.
Class descriptions:
Creative Rhythms Pre-Tap for 3½ to 4 year olds is a fun, 45 minute creative movement class. Through rhythm, music and movement games, children develop motor coordination and build towards tap dance basics.
Beginning Tap Classes for ages 5 through teens. Beginning 1A, 1B, 1C & 1D are for dancers with no tap experience or less than one to two years continuous tap training. Classes start with the basics and build solid tap technique in a fun and supportive environment. Exercises, improvisation skills, and simple combinations give a foundation for learning tap repertory in higher levels.
Repertory Classes levels I though VI are for students who have mastered beginning tap skills and are ready to learn tap repertory. Students progress through six levels of tap technique, improvisation skills and classic and contemporary repertory passed down from a rich tap legacy.
