Tap classes follow the N.A.T.D. stage branch tap syllabus which takes its roots from the American style of tap dancing. The focus is on rhythm and musicality. It is an intricate subject that relies on dancers creating catchy rhythms with their feet. A significant amount of class time is spent on rhythmic understanding and perfecting various steps.
