In this one hour beginner’s workshop, you will learn the basic steps of tap dance, how to count each step, and how to puzzle it together to create a basic routine. Learning tap rhythm patterns is not only a great workout for your brain, with a few basic patterns you can get a great cardio workout too. Come learn how to make music with your feet!
Additional info: All are welcome. Tap shoes preferred, but not required. You can wear any shoe with solid sole, leather is the best because it slides more easily (like ballroom dance shoes, or men’s dress shoes, for example.) There will be some tap shoes available to borrow, first come first served.
