A great class for boys and girls, guaranteed to bring out the style of shy children and extroverts alike. Tap develops rhythm and musicality, helping with Ballet and Modern if they are your favourites! You can just wear outdoor shoes to try a class, and we stock tap shoes sold cheaper than shop prices. (We often have second-hand pairs too - remember children this age change sizes quickly and pre-loved shoes are often of good condition when worn once a week by young children). If also taking Ballet and Modern, you get a bigger discount! For shy children who still want to take exams, the teacher is in the exam room with each group for this exam. You'll be in a higher class if you've passed this exam.

Tap is a great stress buster and ideal if you can't commit to regular classes, e.g. you do shift work or have school exams to revise for! Any age from 14 + can attend this class. You can take ISTD Popular Tap Tests (meant for Adults and teenagers who come for fun) if you like; they're not stressful and there's much less content than children's grades!
Also good if you've danced before, but not Tap - you can then progress to Grades!
We also learn dances for performing and you can participate in charity shows - but we don't force anyone - you can make the tea instead!
​Wear flat outdoor shoes if you'd like to try a class without buying Tap shoes first, (though it is more fun with shoes); you can get them from our online supplier or eBay! There are often second-hand pairs, too, or we can advise on the best shops if you want to invest in a gold-standard pair or have tricky feet.
