Tap Dance did not start in a dance studio: it sprang from African rhythms. Cultures around the world use percussion as medicine and healing. In Tap Dance, our feet become percussive instruments. We create rhythms, we create music, we become musicians.  Continue to learn and improve your technique, musicality, vocabulary and historical knowledge of this quintessential American art form.  Historical choreography, and Esenwein’s own, will be taught as well.

Tap dance has had a historical impact on all dance forms, and springs from our African and Irish ancestors. Our feet are percussive instruments: come lift your sole/soul!
