Instructor:  Renee Metcalf
Classes kick off with a warm-up, followed by fundamental tap steps and techniques. In each 6-week session, students will learn an entire choreography. Each class will cover a portion of the choreography, gradually building on what was learned in the previous class. One of the enjoyable aspects of tap is the opportunity to dance to a variety of music styles!
Question:  Do I have to have tap shoes?
Answer:  No, but it's more fun that way!  You get to make noise. LOL.  However, tap shoes are an investment, so you might want to wear tennis shoes to try it out.  You can always purchase the tap shoes later.  One of my favorite dance stores is Discount Dance, but there are many others, and there is always Amazon.

Question:  If I wear tap shoes, do I need a tap dance board?
Answer:  Yes.  Taps are hard on floors and we do not want to damage the nice facility we are using.  Also, you will want a board to practice at home.  One of many sources is O'Hara Sprung Floors.  Do a search and you will find many sizes, shapes, and prices.  You do want something portable.  My husband has made me a beautiful board out of maple wood that is 4.5 feet by 5.5 feet.  This is a big large for a portable board and it is heavy, but with advance notice, he could make you one in a size you like.  The price would depend on the size and the wood it is made from.
