Class Descriptions

Tap

Tap dancers are also considered musicians. Tap, in the early days, was created as an extension of the impressive Jazz Music. In class, Miller & Ben show the link between the two, Jazz and Tap, with exciting routines, sounds and humor. The idea is: "If you can walk – you can tap, as long as you are in time." In their classes, the emphasis is on exercises designed to acquaint the dancers with the vast tap vocabulary' while purifying its sound. A short combination will follow in the second part of the class, using the various styles of tap, including their own unique "Middle Eastern" style.
