A friendly tap dance class for all levels & ages. Come along and learn fun routines to pop & musical theatre tunes with Natalie Wilcox of Penn & Doyle Dance Academy, in association with Front Room Theatre
Ready to have some fun and learn tap dancing? Join us at the School Green Centre every Thursday till 4th June (when we have a break).
This is a general class so previous experience is advised, but not necessary as Natalie will guide you and get you dancing in no time! Tap shoes are not necessary to try it out, but close fitting shoes that haven't got too much tread are ideal (worn down, old shoes are perfect!)
7.30pm-8.30pm - General Tap (all levels)
8.30-9pm - Social dance, improvisation
ABOUT NATALIE AND THE TAP SHE TEACHES
Natalie trained at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts in acting and musical theatre, and beforehand trained in the American Association of Dance syllabus, at Tamworth Academy. She has also learned with various teachers, attending classes at Danceworks, Dance Attic, The Place (contemporary), Reside Dance (contemporary), Pineapple Studios and Mark Morris (Tap). She was part of the Stockholm Tap Festival in 2024, and attended classes and workshops with instructors including Anthony Morigerato, Brenda Bufalino, Sarah Reich and Sam Weber. She has a unique blend of experience as a professional dancer, actor, singer and linguist and has trained in classes taught by numerous different associations, so her knowledge is broad of both tap moves and steps, and their various names!
The American Association tap techniques were brought over to the UK by the likes of Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. There is a focus on theory which enables you to be a better dancer and understand the reasons behind some of the preparations and barre work we do as dancers.
Our teacher Natalie will share with you her energy and love of tap-dance! Come along to a session to try it out. No need to purchase tap shoes to begin with.
