Class Spotlight: Tap!
Ever watch the Rockettes and think, "I wish I could do that"? There is something very exciting about tap dancing; the movement, the noise the taps make, the precision of all dancers dancing in unison and the percussion.
We are very excited about the new tap programand tap classes at Abby Bella. Tap is an exhilarating form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats. Tappers and Hoofers: A common style of tap dancing is called "classical tap." Classical "tappers" use their arms and upper bodies to blend movements of ballet or jazz into their tap routines. "Hoofers" try to use every part of their shoes to make their feet sound like drums.
Tap program at Abby Bella...
Inspired by Vicki's Tap Pups, based in Harrisburg, PA, which is America's largest adult tap group with dancers ranging in ages from 21 to 89. The Tap Pups program consists of 7 levels - from absolute beginner to All Star - and has a current average age of 60. Several of our clients and teachers saw the story of the Tap Pups on CBS Sunday Morning and got together to discuss a similar program at Abby Bella.
