Tap Dance Masterclass

via Udemy

Overview

From Beginner to Tap Dancer

What you'll learn:
  • You will learn how to tap dance confidently.
  • Learn the fundamental steps that make up all tap steps and grow the skill to create your own tap steps.
  • Grow awareness of rhythm patterns.
  • Learn over 40 tap steps.
  • Be more flexible.

This course has been completely designed with the learner in mind. It is for absolute beginners of all ages, as well as for people who have enjoyed tap before and will enjoy a refresher - a refresher with lots of added content.

Starting with specific warm-ups targeting the muscles we'll be using, you are then gradually introduced to tap steps in a series of videos. Each tap step has two videos: 'Learning' and 'Practise'. In the Learning videos, steps are taught with clear instruction, slow motion and different camera angles. In the Practise videos, we practise the step just learnt. In addition, there are periodic tap classes (the same classes that I have been giving to students for decades) to thoroughly review the steps learnt up to that point.

Steps are introduced and sequenced for you to tap with confidence without getting lost or doing things beyond your level.

Section 3 (after the introductions and warm-ups) teaches the fundamental steps of tap dancing. We can put these together in various ways to create just about any tap step.

Section 4 walks you through how to personalise your tap.

Section 5 puts the previous sections together and gets you tap dancing with confidence.

Whatever your motivation: to learn a new skill set, adopt a fun way to exercise, brush up on your existing tap, this course has got you covered.
