Tap Dance Classes in Hamilton

In tap class, students laugh and learn while making music with their feet. We use special tap shoes for tap class that let our feet make music. The taps allow the dancer to act as an instrument, creating sound when they dance and strike different parts of their feet on the ground.

In Tap Class, students develop their awareness off:

• rhythm
• performance
• and musicality

At Elev8 Dance, students learn how to execute those incredible tap sounds and the ability to carry ourselves with confidence and poise. Students in tap dance class love to move their feet, and parents regularly tell me their child is practicing their steps all over the place.

Jazz and Tap dance complement each other so well they are often combined in the same program for a fuller dance program and richer experience. New students are welcome all year-round. Book Your Trial Class Today and check it out for yourself.
