Instructor: Danielle Pierce, Collage Dance Collective

In this high-energy weekly tap program, participants learn the fundamentals of rhythm tap, tap terminology and short combinations to prepare them for intermediate and advanced study. The program will focus on strengthening musicality, rhythm, timing, speed and coordination. Participants learn how to hear and interpret music in a more advanced way through combinations that employ syncopation and dynamics. Participants also learn the history of tap, one of the oldest American forms of dance that dates back to the mid-1800s and has significant roots in the African American experience. Participants supply their own tap shoes.
