Ballet/Tap 1 is a one hour class that meets once per week. During the tap portion of class, dancers learn beginning tap skills focusing on differenciating between sounds made with the ball of the foot and those made with the heel. Correct tap terms are also introduced as skills are learned. Dancers also practice rhythm activities and coordination skills to fun, upbeat music.

During the ballet portion of class, the dancers work on correct ballet feet and arm positions and the first few ballet skills. As skills and positions are introduced, correct French terms are associated with those skills so that dancers use correct ballet terminology from the very beginning. This class also works on balance skills and group dynamics to prepare them for performing on stage.

Ballet/Tap 1 classes perform 2 dances (1 ballet dance and 1 tap dance) in our spring recital.
