Hone technique, learn choreography, and make some noise in this faster-paced class for intermediate-level tap dancers. With warmups, drills, and across-the-floor work focusing on speed, clarity of sound, rhythmic variety, and aesthetic quality, dancers will apply their skills to rhythm and Broadway-style tap choreography. Best for students with at least two years of tap experience. Tap shoes are required. (Need to borrow shoes? Email anna@worthamarts.org – she may have an extra pair!)
