Tap

An energetic and musical dance style for children from Reception age through to senior grades.

Our ISTD Tap classes help dancers develop rhythm, timing, coordination and confidence while learning an exciting and highly enjoyable dance style.

From Pre-Primary through to Grade 1, tap and ballet are combined within the same class. Exploring both styles helps our younger dancers strengthen their musicality while enjoying two different dance genres.

What happens in class?

Dancers learn tap technique through rhythm exercises, travelling steps and lively combinations. They develop clear footwork, learn to listen carefully to the music and discover how to create different rhythms and sounds with their feet.

Classes follow the carefully structured ISTD syllabus, allowing dancers to progress securely through the grades. Examinations are offered when pupils have reached the appropriate standard, but they are not compulsory.

Uniform

Our uniform is compulsory with a classical bun for Ballet and a neat ponytail for all other classes. We expect our pupils to be beautifully presented.

We offer a full range of uniform which can be purchased from our online dance store here

There’s no need to buy uniform or tap shoes for your free trial – simply wear something comfortable to dance in.

Once enrolled, we will confirm the correct uniform and tap shoes for your child’s grade before you order. Our LBSD tap uniform can be purchased online.

Hair should be neat and securely away from the face. Long hair should be worn in a neat ponytail for every tap class.
