Description
Discover the rhythm of tap – no tap shoes needed! In this Soft Shoe Tap class, Xavier will introduce you to tap rhythms, footwork and musicality using regular shoes. It’s a great introduction to tap dancing, but also perfect for Lindy Hoppers who want to bring new rhythms, steps and techniques straight into their dancing. You’ll also explore skills such as pirouettes, solo jumps and turns, building coordination, balance and control along the way. And if you catch the tap bug, you can continue afterwards into our regular tap classes with tap shoes.
Level Guidance
No previous experience required. We go through basic steps, we dance some nice choreographies, and we introduce you to the very beginning of improvisation.

Tap is perhaps the kind of dance that – thanks to Hollywood’s film industry – has created the most dance lovers in the world. Tap comes mainly from the mix of African and European cultures in the United States, and it has developed hand in hand with jazz.
It is actually a social dance and we make the music with our feet. Tap community is growing more and more all over the world and there are many festivals year round, where we meet, dance and share our love for tap. Tap is culture, it is art, it is fun and everybody loves it!
Social dance & hang out with your dance friends during Midweek Social every Wednesday from 20.00-22.00.
It’s free and open for everyone!
We have collected some of our favorite swing songs, which are good for practicing, and we put them together in a Spotify playlist
