Kid's Tap Dancing Classes: How to Find Great Classes

You're looking for tap dancing classes in Seattle, for your 8-12 year old, but how do you find a good one? What questions do you ask? How do you choose a great class? Here are some tips:

Look for non-competitive kid's tap dance classes where everyone is friendly and your child will always feel welcome.
It's important that the teacher understands that the pace of the tap class has to be good for your child.

Demand tap dance studios with specially designed 'sprung' wood floors that 'give' to protect your child's feet and ankles. Avoid studios with regular wood floors and heaven forbid, run away from dance studios with concrete floors.
Insist on a tap dance school with accommodating school policies like a 100% money back guarantee if you don't like your class for any reason. Look for clean, bright sunlit studios.

Most importantly look for a school that has expert dance teachers who know how to give your child personalized attention so they will progress faster.

Emily H. Seattle

We just finished our parent and toddler class with Miss Alyssa. As a former early educator with a little one who is on the tender/sensitive side, I believe we couldn't have had a better experience and teacher. It was a creative, casual environment where our daughter could watch the other children and adults until she was comfortable participating. Additionally, our daughter went from observing most of the time to doing all the movements and songs at home and participating in the entire class. As parents, it was truly rewarding watching our daughter gain confidence and enthusiasm in expressing herself through dance in front of others.

Miss Alyssa is warm, personable, and knows how to involve and engage the toddlers with their different personalities. She keeps things moving along, with enough predictability for the toddlers to anticipate the next part of the class. I had other friends do the parent and toddler class, and when they hear about our class experience, they say they wish they had Miss Alyssa too! I can't say enough positive things about her, especially if you have a slow-to-warm little one as we do.

This was a wonderful experience for our whole family. Our daughter gained so much confidence and excitement for creative movement through this experience. Thanks, ADI and Miss Alyssa! We hope to be back

Why We Do In-Studio Performances

Young children love to perform but don’t need to be paraded across a big stage to get that thrill. And three minutes on a stage cannot possibly convey how much they’ve learned all year.

Additional performance opportunities abound for our older, upper-level students including Greenwood Art Walk, Phinney Winter Festival, Seattle Summer Streets, Greenwood Seafair Parade and more.
