This fun class will teach dancers the history of tap as well as time steps, rhythm tap, and combinations of steps and sounds. Tap is more than just making sounds with your feet. It is about expressing yourself, percussively, with your feet and body, making music, and making statements.

Dancers learn about the Mexican culture while learning the art of Ballet Folklorico. In addition, dancers learn the history and dances from different regions of Mexico while mastering Mexican footwork (zapateado) and the use of the ballet Folklorico skirt. This is a stimulating, informative, and valuable class for any child or adult wanting to learn traditional dance from the Mexican culture.
