Hit it like a musician with this two hour workshop designed to improve your rhythm, phrasing, and musicality! We’ll focus on basic music theory, accents and dynamics, picking up choreography, and how to improvise like a pro. Explore how the floor, your shoes, and your body work together to create a melodic rhythmic phrase. 

We’ll cover some techniques and drills you can practice at home and share in class. You’ll see why looking at tap dance from a percussionist’s viewpoint will make you a stronger, more creative performer. There’ll be some history you might not have learned in tap class, and a bunch of valuable resources to use.

This workshop is for dancers, teachers, and performers of all ages and levels looking to enhance their tap dancing skills. It’s also for anyone who’s never danced before and wants to dip their toes in the water. Tap dancing is something anyone can do!

The class will be broken down into a “lecture and learning” section where we discuss important concepts, technique, and history, followed by improvography and Q&A.
