Henry LaBrun Studio
Instructor: Lara Hollaway
New to tap? Haven’t tapped in years? Want to feel ready before jumping into Beginner Tap? No experience necessary, TAP 101 is where to start!
This fun, supportive four-class series is designed to get you comfortable, confident, and ready to tap. Each class builds on the last, so you’ll learn at an easy pace, practice what you’ve learned, and build real muscle memory without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. By the final class, you’ll have a solid foundation and a few exciting combinations to show for it.
TAP 101 covers:
- Basic steps
- Tap terminology
- Foundational rhythms
- Fun combinations that put it all together
Tap 101 is one enrollment for all four classes, and each class builds on the one before. You’ll move through the material alongside the same small group of beginners. Please plan to attend every class, since each one introduces key skills you’ll use in the next.
Need tap shoes? There are a limited number of extra shoes and sizes available. Please arrive 15 minutes prior to class start to see if there are shoes available in your size.
