Tap Dance Classes For Kids
Ages 8-11
About Our Kids'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.

"
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
