Classes for school-age children: ISTD Primary and up

We begin to teach tap at age 7 (Primary 3). Experience has taught us that children of this age have achieved a sufficient level of coordination and motor skills to make learning tap rewarding and fun. Early focus is on learning basic steps and beats through rhythmical games and technical exercises. As students progress through the grades, they are taught how to link steps and beats to enable them to perform more detailed and complex rhythms with their feet more quickly. They also learn about performance style, musicality and presentation.
