Tap
Tap and Modern can be studied together in one session or separately. Pupils study N.A.T.D Modern Stage for Examination purposes but are also taught from a variety of other syllabi in order to benefit from a range of styles.
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.
Tap lessons follow the Stage branch of the N.A.T.D, which takes its roots from the American style of tap dancing.
