We offer classes & workshops for:

Tap Beginners & Improvers Class
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 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 can not only help improve fitness, strengthening, flexibility, posture & balance, it can also assist in building bone density, which can help to prevent oestoporosis.
We can also accommodate those needing low impact Tap to protect joints.
With routines & rhythms, tap can exercise mind, memory & coordination as well as your body, not to mention all the stress-busting benefits dance can offer.
