‘An excellent and inspiring teacher – thank you.’

‘Love the music!…’

Suitable for those who have completed our Absolute Basics workshop, those who maybe haven’t tapped for a while, and more experienced Improvers.  After a simple warm-up, the first half of the class consists of learning steps, amalgamations and rhythm exercises.  During the second half of the class we gradually build up a routine over 4 or 5 weeks.  The emphasis is on learning tap in a fun, relaxed atmosphere to a wonderful soundtrack of jazz, blues and the best of the musicals. 

Tap Shoes – most sizes available to hire for a small charge – must be booked in advance

Assistant Teacher – Katherine Drake

Katherine has been tap dancing since she was 7 years old and has never stopped!  She has been assisting Sue for the past 10 years and is on hand to specifically look after any newcomers to the Beginners/Improvers class. Her warm personality and tremendous patience put beginners at their ease instantly. As well as being an accomplished tap dancer, Katherine is also a fully qualified Engineer. “…I get great pleasure from leaving the kids and work worries at home, putting on my tap shoes and bashing the floor. It’s wonderful exercise for both the body and the brain and I hope to keep tapping for as long as I possibly can!…”
