sport. It will combine hoops, ribbons and balls for a wonderful experience in balance and
coordination. Students in this course will be required to purchase a ball, hoop and ribbon for

tap fundamentals including shuffle, flap, ball change, cramp rolls, buffalo, Irish, maxi ford and
upbeat, fun choreography! Students will need form fitting, stretchy clothing and tap shoes.
(shoes are not mandatory for the first week. I recommend a high-quality tap shoe purchased
at a dance supply store. The ones from Payless and Walmart usually do not make nice
sounds so it less enjoyable to hear). Instructor: Tanya Fisher

exercises including Pilates and Yoga techniques. This is a drop-in course. There is no
Performance for this course. Instructor: Tanya Fisher
