About This Class

Tap Dance is an exciting, percussive, rhythmical dance form. The dancer uses their feet to strike the floor, beating out a melody, with tap shoes which have small metal plates on the toe and heel to give the distinctive sound. Tap dance is a theatrical art form often seen on screen and stage in musicals. During your ISTD tap classes at First Stage you will learn to do many steps including shuffles, paradiddles and, as you progress, timesteps and wings. We offer classes at First Stage for all ages from 2 years and over. These are held throughout the week and on a Saturday depending on age and level. Please see latest timetables for further details. Please see Tammy in our onsite shop, First Gear, for the correct First Stage uniform for Tap. The correct uniform must be worn for all examinations. Grooming is very important and hair should be worn in a neat bun for all classes where possible.
