OUR CLASSES

Tap

Through our tap dance classes, you will be able to exercise your body and your mind by dancing to a rhythm and memorising the dance steps of your routine. As our teachers lead students through the renown Glenn Wood Tap syllabus, children will improve their mental focus and build muscle memory in tap classes. Dance classes can help improve your health and muscle tone, and by improving your posture, core muscles, and balance, they will help you to lead a healthier lifestyle and remain fit and active. Joining a dance class with individuals your age may help improve your social skills and allow you to have fun while getting in your weekly exercise.

Everything you need to know

Made popular during the 20th Century, this appealing dance style still has its place in the modern world. Learning tap dancing is ideal for those hoping for a career in musical theatre or adults who have always wanted to give it a try. Mastering this style of dance can help with coordination, rhythm, musicality and agility. Classes are designed to suit your ability and are always enjoyable!

Preparing for a tap class

When you decide that you’re ready to join in with tap dance lessons, we can give you an understanding of all the items that you will need to make your classes effective. We believe in your success as a dancer, and whether you’re dancing as a professional or as a hobby, we take you seriously.

  • Always wear comfortable tap shoes. When you’re starting out as a tap dancer, you won’t need state-of-the-art tap shoes that are the most expensive ones on the shelves. However, you will need a dependable pair that fits you comfortably. At dance stores, you will find a variety of tap shoes, or feel free to ask your dance instructor for advice on choosing a pair that will suit your needs. We recommend visiting the ladies at Dance World Darwin.
  • It’s always a plus to learn timing as you dance. Tap is not just about moving to the music: the timing of the dance moves is vital for the choreography to work. When you learn the timing, you can quickly detect the rhythm of the music and get into the feeling and flow.
  • Progress over perfection. Every worthwhile pursuit in life takes a dedicated approach, and in dance, dancers can become discouraged relatively quickly. Don’t take your mistakes to heart and keep on practising. Trust that you will get better with practice, and the steps will become easier.

When you’re taking tap classes, you can absorb multiple benefits. Dancing not only has health benefits but is also an enjoyable experience that provides you with the opportunity to bond with a group of people your age with the same interests as you.

  • Our tap dance lessons provide a magnificent workout by increasing your heart rate with constant movement. Dancing regularly is as beneficial as any other cardiovascular exercise, such as running or riding an exercise bike.
  • Dancing allows you to express your creativity through the artistic use of music and rhythm as your communication tools.
