About Our Children's Tap Dance Classes
Tap dancing classes for kids introduce the basic rhythms, preparatory steps and sequencing with special attention to clean technique. They focus on musicality, phrasing, and terminology while building strength and having fun!
Your child will begin exploring the sounds and rhythms made possible through this wonderful and unique American dance style.

Any comfortable clothes to dance in,
Tap shoes must be purchased, we do sell tap shoes but we do have a swap box with used shoes you may look through to see if we have your child's size.
Meet Your Children's Tap Dance Teacher
Donny Gersonde
Donny attended Coronado School of the Arts: Musical Theatre,
high school in San Diego, and he holds a BFA in Musical Theatre from the
Hartt School of Music in Connecticut.
After college, he returned to San Diego and became the lead dance teacher for the Coronado School of the Arts-Musical Theatre High School, his alma mater.
Donny says his love for teaching is equal to his passion for dancing. All levels and all bodies, it brings him joy to get people moving!
We have evening and weekend classes, but we will add weekday morning classes in the Fall.

"
The teacher is the determinant factor...
"Just as in the best public and private schools, the quality of the teacher in a class room and dance studio determines the quality of the student's class experience. American Dance Institute's teachers are the best. I know because I work very hard to find, mentor and retain them."
Elizabeth Chayer - Founder, Director, The American Dance Institute
