• Tap 1 (Ages 6-10) - This 45 minute course will be a fun introduction to tap. Students will learn
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 Recommended Donation: $15

exercises including Pilates and Yoga techniques. This is a drop-in course. There is no

• Tap 2 (Ages 7 & Up) - This course is for students who have mastered the basic techniques
from level 1. (This usually takes more than 1 year in the level 1 course. Home practice will
speed up progress of course!) Intermediate tap is a faster paced, challenging, but super fun
course! Students will need stretchy clothing and high-quality Tap shoes (I recommend
Capezio, Bloch, and Leo brands. The cheaper ones at Walmart usually do not make nice
sounds). Pre-requisites: minimum of 1 year in Tap 1, a positive attitude, and dedication to
home practice! Instructor: Tanya Fisher Recommended Donation of $12 per weekly session
