Have you ever wanted to try tap dancing? Missed out on your opportunity as a kid? Now is your chance! This 8 week course is geared towards absolute beginner tappers interested in learning.

To register

THREE hours of intense tap dance training with VanTap Artistic Director Andrew Nemr. Get down for any of the 1 hour classes or take all 3 for a full effect.

Hour One – Technique – Steve Condo’s style Rudiments, Traveling Steps, Air Steps, and Turning Steps. There will be no hiding allowed.
—
Hour Two – Choreography – New choreography will be built each month. Modeled after Andrew’s experience in Savion Glover’s TiDii and his own tap dance company Cats Paying Dues, choreography will be ensemble-based and focused on listening, dynamics, and moving through formations.
—
Hour Three – Improvisation – The circle, trading 8’s, the time step, the song as improvisational structure, groove based improvisation, and communal improvisation – all different ways of approaching the art of improvisation that will be explored as we journey together.
