Tap dancing is a fun, rhythm based dance form that works the logic/math side of the brain so it is a great add on when studying other dance forms! Here at Dance for Joy, we offer tap based on the Tommy Sutton Tap Method, including teaching his exercises and celebrating milestones when students can perform an exercise independently.

Tap dancing is a fun, rhythm based dance form that works the logic/math side of the brain so it is a great add on when studying other dance forms! Here at Dance for Joy, we offer tap based on the Tommy Sutton Tap Method, including teaching his exercises and celebrating milestones when students can perform an exercise independently.
Tap classes are carefully structured by age and ability so dancers are always challenged with new tap concepts, technique and skill while having fun and making noise with their peers.
Students under the age of 18 must enroll in a ballet class to enroll in a tap class. Ballet teaches key elements in dance that carry over to other dance genres, including tap and jazz, such as posture, balance, poise, and strength.
