Both styles of tap – Broadway and Rhythm – are taught in this class with a large emphasis placed on learning the classic steps. Classes will start with a warm-up and then dancers will work at the center and travel across the floor before ending with some improv. Focus is placed on clarity, rhythm, and execution of the steps.
