Tap classes at Future of Dance are rooted in the African American history of tap dance and explore the rhythm and musicality of the art form. Classes begin with a warm up that teaches the different sounds of the shoe followed by a series of classical tap step which are performed in the center of the room. Students then learn traveling steps and move around the room or across the floor to practice locomotion and rhythm combined. Class typically ends with a group combination that fuses learned skills to appropriate music.
