DANCE
Amy Meehan
In this nontraditional tap class no tap shoes are needed. Sneakers can be worn. Dancers will be focusing on tap shoes as instruments and the musicality involved with tap dancing. Rhythm sticks will be used as an accompanying instrument focusing on fun rhythms to play with your tap shoes. Inspired by the hit musical Bring in da’ Noise, Bring in da’ Funk. Dancers will do tap jams and other fun improvisation and musicality aspects of tap dancing while learning some rhythm tap skills and choreography.
