Who is Afro-Modern?
Afro-Modern dance is a contemporary class where students explore full body expressions rooted in West African, Caribbean, and American dance traditions. The class/movement is designed to enhance rhythm, coordination, balance, weight shift, and increase stamina. The overall desire is for participants to feel comfortable in their moving bodies, groove together as a community, and have fun!
What to expect for Int/Adv Tap?
Tap is a genre of dance where rhythmic sounds are created with the feet, typically performed in tap shoes, with or without musical accompaniment. In this fun and upbeat class, we will continue to master basic tap technique and progress into more intermediate and advanced tap skills and combinations. The class structure begins with a tap warm-up, specified exercises and phrase work to review and build tap vocabulary, traveling across the floor, and tap dance choreography. This class is for tappers who have some background and experience in tap dance.
