Tap
Tap dance uses the sound of the tap shoes hitting the floor as a percussive instrument. Tap dance sharpens reflexes and improves memory skills and coordination. Beginning classes will work toward establishing fundamental tap movements, vocabulary and will work on basic rhythms and steps that progress into fun and lively dance combinations. More advanced classes will involve more intricate rhythms and combinations. Tap dancing is a great way to develop musicality, timing and balance.

“Studio B. has been a wonderful and supportive place to get back into dancing as a young adult. I took beginning/intermediate adult tap with Amber for about a year and the class size more than doubled while I was there. I highly recommend Studio B. for adult and kids classes alike!”
