What is Tap Dancing?
Tap dancing is a rhythmic and expressive dance style named for the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes touch the hard floor. It emphasises precision, timing, and syncopation, making it both a musical and physical challenge as dancers create intricate beats and patterns from the tapping sounds. Through dynamic footwork and lively sequences, tap dancers engage with the music, creating a unique performance that blends sound and movement.

Tap dancing with Ready Set Dance provides numerous benefits for kids. It helps develop rhythm, coordination, and musicality while building essential motor skills like balance and control. With a strong focus on technique and musicality, kids can express their creativity through rhythmic patterns. Tap dance also boosts self-confidence as children master intricate footwork and perform in front of others. When learning music dynamics, tempo and rhythm in tap, students will listen to instructions, respond to tempo changes and copy a rhythm.
