Tap Dance Birmingham

New tap dance classes starting in Birmingham city centre. Create rhythms with your feet in this joyful, percussive dance style!

What is Tap?

Tap dance transforms your feet into percussion instruments, creating rhythms and music through metal taps on your shoes. From its roots in African and Irish dance traditions to Broadway stages and Hollywood films, tap has evolved into a dynamic art form that's both musically sophisticated and incredibly fun. Our Birmingham classes explore various tap styles from classical Broadway tap to funky rhythm tap, ensuring every student finds their groove.

Whether you're inspired by Gene Kelly's elegance or Savion Glover's explosive style, tap offers unique satisfaction - you're simultaneously dancer and musician! Perfect for improving coordination, musicality, and rhythm, tap provides excellent brain training while being genuinely enjoyable. No matter your age or experience, there's something magical about making music with your feet.
