Beginner Jazz/Tap (Monessa)

Tap is a form of dance where rhythmic sounds are created by the feet, typically performed in tap shoes, with or without, musical accompaniment. In this class, we will work on mastering a vocabulary of basic tap steps; everything will be broken down. As the classes progress, we will start to combine the basic tap steps into short combinations, eventually increasing the speed in which skills are performed. This class is built on progressions; each class will review learned skills and also continuously build new tap skills. This class is open to any level tapper, although, regular attendance is suggested for beginner tappers. (Although, it is ideal to have a pair of tap shoes for this class, you can still learn this style while dancing with bare feet, or, in socks, sneakers, or jazz shoes.)
