Rhythm you can hear — the most joyful noise in the building.

Overview
About our tap classes
Tap is pure rhythm. Our ISTD tap classes build crisp, clean sound and quick feet, and they are consistently the loudest, happiest room in the centre. Several of our tap students have gone on to Tap Attack associate programmes.
What you'll learn
- Clean, articulate tap sounds and weight transfer
- Shuffles, time steps, wings and pull-backs
- Rhythm, syncopation and improvisation
- ISTD graded syllabus and examination work

Pure fun
Tap is instantly rewarding — you hear your progress from week one.
