Details

Tap is a fun and friendly dance exercise to great rhythms. We meet weekly in term time in blocks of 5 or 6 classes. This all-inclusive class welcomes total beginners and more experienced tappers, working together on basic steps at the beginning of each class through to Adult ISTD syllabus work at Levels 1, 2 and beyond. In addition to learning technique, the leader choreographs fun warm ups and dances to a wide variety of music and styles for everyone to join in, changing them every term. Members are encouraged to participate throughout the class but may observe when work becomes more advanced than they feel ready to tackle. 

The two hour session includes time for coffee and chat afterwards. There is on-line learning support between lessons on request. 

Members must be reasonably fit and take responsibility for their own health issues, modifying movements according to their needs. 

There is a charge to cover room hire each term (approx £20 every 6 weeks, payable in advance). One free taster class for members and non-members at the start of any block (after which non-members need to join Tonbridge u3a in order to sign up).

New members are welcome. 

Please contact Tap Dance leader (Diane) to discuss health and ability level before coming. Continued participation requires the purchase of tap shoes.
