Tap or jazz for adults, beginners and returners welcome.

  • Adults, any age

  • One hour on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday

  • Classes of up to 12

  • The Tap Room and the Back Room

What an evening is like

  1. 01

    Step 1: Warm-up

    Walking, stretching and rolling the ankles, as slowly as the room needs.

  2. 02

    Step 2: A step or two

    One new sound or step, shown slowly and then to the music.

  3. 03

    Step 3: Across the floor

    A few dancers at a time, with a turn each and plenty of time to laugh.

  4. 04

    Step 4: A phrase

    A few steps joined into eight counts, which grows each week.

  5. 05

    Step 5: A last stretch

    A cool-down and a word with the teacher about next time.
