Programs

Our Academy offers courses year round for all levels, ages, and body types.

10 Month Program (Sept-June)

Children and Teens – We offer a wide range of activities for children and teens focused around tap dance and related cultural dances. These include classes in Tap Dance Technique, Conditioning, Competition Choreography, Breaking, and Theatre Jazz. Children and Teen classes that learn choreography present their pieces in the end of the year recital.

Adults – Our program provides adults a great opportunity to commit to a weekly class, learning technique, choreography, and perform in the end of the year recital.


Spring Break and Summer Camps

Every Spring Break and Summer of the academic year, the Academy offers a series of exciting opportunities to dance. These are perfect opportunities to get in some extra training, try new activities, and keep your skills in shape.

Dance Days of Spring/Summer is a week long theme camp that combines tap dance with other dance genres and activities while celebrating a particular theme. Past camps have included the 1980s, 1970s, etc.

Boot Camp is a week long camp geared towards 11-15 year olds who are committed to tap dancing. The camp offers dancers the opportunity to work with guest artists in an intense learning environment, developing a project over the course of the week, and taking part in a showing of their work at the end of the camp.


Drop-in Classes and Special Courses

Drop-in Classes are level-based classes for Beginners through Advanced dancers. You can drop by anytime, and there is no commitment for a year end performance. Age is limited to dancers 13 yrs old and up.

Special Courses are made for those who are unable to commit to a 10-month program, but want more structure than a weekly drop-in class? These 6-to-8 week courses are perfect for the new dancer just getting started, the intermediate dancer focused on learning a particular skill, or the advanced dancer looking for a more structured training program! Age is limited to dancers 13 yrs old and up.

The Land

The Vancouver Tap Dance Society is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh people. We are humbled by this history and grateful to pursue our mission of celebrating tap dance and related cultural arts while on this land.
