This class is for middle and high school students who want to learn to tap dance before auditions for our summer production of Anything Goes. The goal will be to start with the very basics and accelerate quickly into moves that will be used in the production. The class will be tailored to meet the needs of the students who attend. You should wear tap shoes if you own them. You are under no obligation to purchase shoes but it is advisable that you have them or at least some type of hard soled shoe in order to hear the sounds your feet make.
Emergency! Learn to Tap Workshop (FREE)Thursdays at 6:15 p.m. in the Valley Oak Room
