The Melbourne Tap Studio

This is the first class of a six-week course for adult beginners.
For most adults, tap dance starts to ‘click’ somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks in. Until then it’s a lot of new information, and a lot of new moves. And that’s exactly as it should feel.
When you’re learning anything new, turning up consistently is the key to progress.

No tap shoes. No studio. Just playing with crawls and syncopation before the day starts.
Where do you practise?

7 weeks out from the end of year showcase. Just finishing routines before we start cleaning them to performance ready.

When did you last learn something from scratch?
Most adults don’t remember.
You get good at things, and then you stop starting new ones.

This is what learning from scratch looks like.
Feet that won’t do what your brain is asking. Getting it, losing it, getting it again.
These are adult beginners in a tap class in Richmond (Melbourne). None of them had tapped before. Nobody here is good at this yet, and that’s the point.

Amy came back to tap after 20 years away.
Twenty years is a long time to be away from something. It isn’t long enough to forget why you loved it.

“For that hour, your mind is so focused on the rhythm and conquering the steps. All the worries, to-do lists, mental load and stresses of life leave your head. You walk out of class feeling energised, lighter and having had a good workout!”

Know someone who’s been saying they’ll go back to dancing after years away? Send this to them.

The concentration levels were definitely high, love seeing them thinking about what they’re doing as they learn it. The smiles come when it clicks.
