Through the rhythmic patterns of tap dance and the high-energy performance of jazz dance, your child will learn the two most popular dance styles of the musical theater world.

Teachers will instruct dancers in both disciplines and create dances that incorporate the best of both worlds! (Tap shoes are required.
