Frequently Asked Questions

  • Take our Intro to Tap workshop class! It runs on a 4-week cycle and that will set you up with this basics! You can retake the class as many times as you want until you feel comfortable moving up to the next level, Tap Fundamentals Level 1.

    You may drop in to an Intro to Tap class if you’re unable to commit to the full 4 weeks.

  • We recommend getting your own tap shoes if you take class frequently, but if you’re just starting out you can borrow a pair of our loaner shoes for free!

    We have a shoe shelf by the reception desk that has adult sizes and kid’s sizes, with women’s and men’s sizes mixed. So if you intend to borrow shoes, be sure to arrive 15 minutes early to your class so you have enough time to find a pair that fit you.

    Just make sure you spray them with disinfectant spray and tie the two shoes together when you’re done, and return them to the spot you found them in!

  • Anything you’re comfortable moving and sweating in! We don’t have a dress code, just wear what works best for you!

  • Take a look at our level breakdown page! There we have a detailed description of what skills you should already have AND what skills you will learn in each class level.
