• Christian Tap Dance I: Beginning- (For students 6 or 7 years and up) **May be offered 2018-2019** The rhythm

and movement of tap, created by the metal taps on the heels and toes of a dancer’s shoes, transforms the
dancer into a percussive musician. Tap dance emphasizes the flow of movement by teaching the dancer to find
rhythms and beats not only in music but in their own bodies. Teacher: Tanya Fisher Recommended Donation of
