Jazz and Tap

Jazz and Tap is offered for students aged 5 years to adult/professional level. We teach the Southern Federation of Dance Syllabus. There are 10 levels in the syllabus.

Students in level 7 and above jazz, intending on entering exams must attend one ballet class per week in addition to their Jazz Class.

Jazz is a technical dance style danced to popular music as seen in music videos (commercial jazz), musical theatre (Broadway Jazz), cabaret and international stage productions (traditional jazz).

Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by using the sound of one’s tap shoes hitting the floor (or other surfaces) as a percussive instrument.  Tap is most commonly found in musical theatre however a new genre “Street Tap” is becoming popular and this style of tap can be seen in movies like “Bootmen”.
