Sneaker tap classes
WHAT is awesome about tap dance?
As a rhythmic art we get to have fun carving new neurological pathways in the brain by learning new rhythms. We play some pretty fun music too! Tap Dance can help you release energy by moving your body and hitting the floor in different ways creating a percussive experience that is both inspiring and exciting!
YOU WILL CULTIVATE:
Playfulness, Creativity, Confidence, Curiosity, Balance, Strength, Flexibility, Breath work and Mindfulness.
HOW IS sneaker tap DIFFERENT?
You do not need tap shoes
(And yes they still make a sound!)
It is really only recently (in the past hundred years) that taps were integrated into the art form of rhythmic percussion with the feet.
Sneaker Tap dance is focused on the playful aspect of this art form while trying to make it accessible to those who do not have tap shoes (and those who do!). We want to explore the mind bending empowerment that comes from learning choreography and the energy practices that come from aerobic movement in different sequences while releasing energy into the floor.
I AM NOT A dancer THOUGH..
GREAT! We are not dancing! We are having fun and moving and exploring different patterns and they may look like dance :)
Real talk though- Professional Dance is STUNNING- and we may get to that level but its not about that.
Its about the joy that is unleashed when you move your body to movement. It is about the mental dexterity that is built when your body moves in different patterns. It is about the exploration of play when you come together and pair movement with music.
And its a good work out too!
