Did you Tap as a child or tapped many years ago? Then we think you will love our intermediate Tap dance class.

This class requires a basic knowledge of tap dancing.  We teach various steps slowly and carefully to ensure they are understood and can be demonstrated correctly before moving on.

As well as working on the basic terminology from the Beginner’s class, we also work on some of the more intricate steps within exercises in the centre as well as travelling from the corner. The Intermediate class is perfect for those who want to work on developing their Tap skills. We also always have fun working on routines within a lovely friendly environment, you’re guaranteed a fun time!

Our second level Intermediate class is a mid way class between level 1 Intermediate and Advanced. We focus on the technique of Tap, breaking down and learning some of the more difficult steps in preparation for the Advanced level.

Our second level Intermediate class is a great class for those who want to push those Intermediate skills and aim for the Advanced class. Working on a lot of the Advanced steps at a slightly slower pace, we work on developing more knowledge and progressing the stamina to reach the level of Advanced.

This class requires a good knowledge of tap dancing – if this is you why not join our group of happy tappers and improve your rhythm, co-ordination, and stamina.
