Tap Dance: Ages 12 - 18

Tap Dance: ACT II Students

Tap dance is frequently used in musical theatre so it is an important skill to develop.  Here is your chance!  This is a non-performance class that is designed to increase your tap technique.

All three ACT II classes (Tap, Jazz/Ballet, Scene Study) are scheduled on Friday after school so students can develop with multiple classes back-to-back.
