Jazz/Tap 1
A Beginning dance class for Elementary age students with 0-4 years experience. This is a great class for students who are just starting dance, or for those who were in the Preschool class and are ready to move up with the “Big Girls.” In this class, we will learn how to warm-up properly and learn basic dance steps with correct technique. At the end of the year, we will show off all we have learned with the spring recital.
