COME DANCE OUTSIDE! Tap dance has had a historical impact on all dance forms. It springs from our African and Irish ancestors. Our feet are percussive instruments. Tap dance provides a good cardiovascular workout and is a great stress releaser. Come improve your tap skills through listening, learning vocabulary and finding YOUR rhythm!
