This course is for dancers who want to re-fresh or extend their tap dancing further! You will learn about new variations, drills, skills each week as well as learning musical theatre repertoire. We will work heavily on perfecting elevation steps such as grab offs, trenches, pullbacks, double knocks, as well as rhythmical variations working for consistency then speed.
