Tapsolute Beginners & Improvers
Our Tapsolute Beginners class is not only for beginners but improvers too, as well as anyone wanting to hone their technique or wishing to enjoy tap & learn dance routines at a steady, gentler pace than our mixed ability class. That doesn't mean all dances & routines are slow! We enjoy a mix of tempos but like all our classes, you can dance at a pace that is comfortable for you; no pressure!
This small, friendly group offers support & laughter but we take learning to heart & offer plenty of opportunities to practise, using a range of toe tapping tunes from the swing classics & big band to chart toppers & favourites from the decades.
You will learn the fundamental tap steps & understand technique in more detail through short sequences & then combine your new skills in uplifting routines, full of style & rhythm.
Tap shoes
Tap shoes are not necessary for initial classes, any smooth sole, low heel shoe (preferably lace up, buckle bar or similar), dance sneaker or jazz shoe will do but your class experience may be different. Bring a selection along & we'd be happy to advise the most suitable.

Tap : Improvers & Inters (mixed ability)
In our mixed ability class for adults, we build up a Tap routine over a few weeks, learning & improving technique, style & rhythm as we dance. From big band swing to show-tunes, R 'n' B to rock 'n' roll, soft shoe to seventies, or latin to toe-tapping, our varied routines can be smooth or upbeat but always uplifting.
Whether you're a Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers, Savion Glover or Ann Miller, we want everyone to enjoy dance in a fun, non-pressured, supportive environment & dance amongst friends.
We offer options on the complexity of steps within our routine, so you can pick & choose to suit your experience. Tap Beginners looking for more focused learning may like to consider our Tapsolute Beginners class on Thursdays where you'll learn the fundamental steps & shorter routines at a steady pace; this may also suit any silver shufflers!
Classes are continuous in 2025; we take a short break at Easter and over summer - hope you'll join us soon!
