Tap Dance

Tap dancing is an energetic dance style where students learn rhythm, style, technique and musicality through percussive footwork. Tap was initially popularized in Hollywood by such great dancers as Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers and Shirley Temple and more recently, by the hugely popular performers Tap Dogs, Stomp and Riverdance!

What People Are Saying About Our School?

The owner, Miranda, and all the fantastic teachers at the school have created an amazing environment. The students can do what they love, and compete on elite teams if they choose to, without it being a competitive environment with a lot of pressure, which is why I chose the school. My daughter has gone there for ten years and adores everyone there.

My son has been going here for many years and absolutely loving learning different varieties of dance, especially hip hop. He has begun dance competitions and the teachers and fellow dancers are all great.
Margaritta Wyld
My 7-year-old recently attended a Taylor Swift inspired summer camp with PAS and she loved it! The instructors were engaging and facilitated a full day of fun activities for the kids. It can be a struggle to get my daughter excited about full-day camps, but she was keen to attend every day. I also really appreciated the performance the instructors staged for families at end of the last day.
