Youth Tap/Jazz Combo (Ages 6–11) is a high-energy class that introduces young dancers to the exciting worlds of tap and jazz through upbeat music, expressive movement, and strong foundational technique. Dancers will need both types of shoes (tap and jazz) for this class. Dancers will build coordination, flexibility, strength, and performance quality while learning beginning tap sounds, as well as turns, kicks, and stylized combinations. This class encourages confidence, musicality, and stage presence in a fun and supportive environment, perfect for young performers who love to move, groove, and shine.
