‘…Really enjoyed it! Lots of fun and clear instructions.’
‘An excellent and inspiring teacher – thank you.’
‘Love the music!…’
Suitable for complete beginners, those who haven’t tapped for a while, or more experienced tappers who want to refine their technique. After a simple warm-up, the first half of the class consists of learning steps, amalgamations and rhythm exercises. During the second half of the class we gradually build up a routine over 4 or 5 weeks. The emphasis is on learning tap in a fun, relaxed atmosphere to a wonderful soundtrack of jazz, blues and the best of the musicals.
Tap Shoes
Some shoes available to borrow on a first come, first served basis – free for your first lesson and £1 per time thereafter.

Assistant Teacher – Katherine Drake
Katherine has been tap dancing since she was 7 years old and has never stopped! She has been assisting Sue for the past 5 years and is on hand to specifically look after any newcomers to the Beginners/Improvers class. Her warm personality and tremendous patience put beginners at their ease instantly. As well as being an accomplished tap dancer, Katherine is also a fully qualified Engineer. “…I get great pleasure from leaving the kids and work worries at home, putting on my tap shoes and bashing the floor. It’s wonderful exercise for both the body and the brain and I hope to keep tapping for as long as I possibly can!…”
