Workshop—Tap for Lindy Hoppers

$30.00

Sunday, July 27, 2:30 PM–4:30 PM

Teacher: Lauren Reed

Familiar Footwork, Rich Rhythms

Let's build our rhythmic creativity and then express it with our feet! We will explore musicality and agility with classic tap rudiments, rhythm games, music/dance history, and a short combo. There will be options for everyone from total beginner to high intermediate in this mixed level class. Whether you consider yourself a slow or fast learner, with some, little, or zero tap experience, everyone will walk away with more rhythmic confidence and something challenging to work on. For those who took this workshop in Fall 2025, there will be a similar feel but all new content!

Pre-Requisites: No tap experience required!

Note About Tap Shoes: To protect our floors, no tap shoes will be allowed—hard-bottom shoes will work just fine! If you’d prefer to wear tap shoes, you must bring your own tap board.
