    Anonymous review on 1/24/2020
    Loved my class. It's been years and I mean decades since I took tap dance and I loved that my instructor, Arlene, didn't mind that. I had to start from scratch and she was utterly patient with my two left feet and very sweet at how terrible I was. She gave confidence to try it again. Unfortunately, they don't have a schedule up, so couldn't book another class.

Why You Should Learn Tap in NYC

Tap dance offers physical benefits as well as mental ones! Studies have shown that engaging in any style of dance improves mood by making people feel happier and less stressed, but tap dance may provide an extra boost. Tap dancing is also considered a full body workout! While the sound of tap comes from the feet, the dance involves movements of the arms and legs that work nearly all muscles from neck to foot. Tap is usually performed at a quick pace and is excellent for burning calories and working the heart. Tap is also known to improve balance, posture, and coordination. A sitting form of tap dance has been used to improve cognition in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.

While tap dance can certainly be performed solo, it originated from social dances and group performances remain popular today. Taking up tap classes will put you in a new social group where you can form friendships and other relationships. Individuals who find an accepting and welcoming community experience increased feelings of belonging and decreased feelings of loneliness. 

If you have serious interest in becoming a dancer or are already in dance classes but want to improve your skills, tap dance has a reputation for being a foundational dance style. Through tap, dance students learn to listen, count time signatures, and find rhythm. Tap dancers tend to have a better understanding of how to accent their movements and bring expression to their performance in ways that other dancers may be missing. If you’re seeking to become a well-rounded dancer or understand dance on a deeper level, tap is for you!

It’s possible to make side income through dancing, though not everyone will become proficient enough in the skill to do so. Tap dancers might perform on stage or television commercials. Some people make money performing on social media, which also doubles as a portfolio when applying for dancing gigs. Some students go on to become teachers themselves. If you’d like to make money through dancing, it will take a lot of dedication and practice outside of the classroom.
