5/6 Years Tap/Jazz
Perfect for a dancer starting out - but also a great progression for dancers who have previous experience in a Tiny Dancer program.
This class focuses on the technique of both jazz and tap. Starting with tap - dancers learn the basics and start to combine steps. The jazz section follows with dancers being taught the fundamentals of jazz technique - setting them up with confidence for their future training.
