The SCSTD Tap Program is one of the strongest in the country, and SCSTD students have appeared in some of the biggest tap shows on Broadway. Tap is one of our most loved programs, and we invite you to be a part of it! From the most basic levels, we strive to instill a solid foundation in tap by building strong foot and ankle skills and control. In each class we cover many styles of tap: rhythm tap, which is typically done in flat tap shoes and is a freer style; Broadway style tap, which is typically done in heeled tap shoes (for the ladies) and utilizes distinct styles depending upon the era which is focused on. Steps such as stomps, step heels, flaps, shuffles, peri-diddles, maxi-fords, cramp rolls, and time steps will be strengthened in the beginning levels. In our faster classes, intricate syncopation, rhythms, technique, flash steps, tap turns, improvisation, and various styles will be the focus. No matter your tap level-we have a class for you!
