Tap Dance Classes for Kids, Teens & Adults in Blacksburg, VA
Rhythm, musicality, and confidence for dancers across the New River Valley.
Tap blends rhythm, style, and musicality through intricate footwork and timing. Dancers learn to use their feet as instruments and develop coordination, syncopation, and dynamic performance skills. Students explore classic and contemporary styles while developing timing and expressive phrasing. Dancers learn to treat sound as part of the choreography, connecting movement with rhythm in both structured and improvisational formats.

Dress Code for Tap Classes
To support safety and strong technique, dancers should wear:
Top & Bottoms: Fitted, solid-color athletic or dancewear that allows free movement (no overly loose pants that cover the feet).
Shoes: Tan tap shoes appropriate for the level and age.
Hair: Pulled back and secured away from the face.
If a dancer takes tap along with other styles (like jazz or musical theater), the same fitted attire can usually be worn across classes, with shoes changed as needed.
