Find your rhythm and joy in our Tap classes. Following the NATD syllabus from Pre-Primary to Graded examinations, tap dance is a core style that Miss Cashmore introduced to the school back in 1946. Students learn intricate footwork, musicality, and the art of rhythm while exploring individual creativity. Join us to discover the joy of making music with your feet and master the timeless and lively dance form of tap.

Progression
Twinkle Toes (Age 3-4)
Introduce your little ones to the magical world of dance with Twinkle Toes, our class specially designed for ages 3-4. Here, children explore the foundations of ballet and tap through engaging stories and weekly adventures, beginning their love for movement and creativity.
We currently have a waiting list for this class - please complete an enquiry form to join!
Pre-Primary and Primary Tap (Age 4-7)
Following Twinkle Toes, students aged 4.5 onwards may progress to our Pre-Primary class where they level up steps and technique to work towards taking NATD exams. This is then further advanced by the Primary grade, following students taking Pre-Primary exams.
Tap Grades (Age 7 onwards)
Our Tap classes currently offer Grade 1, 2, 3, and 4. Moving beyond the Primary level, Grades introduce more technical steps, theory-based questions, and set amalgamations within NATD Graded exams. Achieving these Grades mark significant milestones, eventually translating into UCAS points when students pursue vocational tap exams.
Adult Tap
We are proud to offer 3 levels of Adult Tap classes: Pre-Intermediate, Intermediate and Advanced. The Pre-Intermediate class is designed for adults with minimum 1 year tap dance experience, Intermediate class is designed for adults with minimum 3 years tap dance experience, and Advanced is designed for strong tap dancers at Grade 5+ level or with 5 years tap dance experience. Adults have performance opportunities in our shows, in addition to continually developing technique in class work and routines week to week.
