Celebrating 30 Years of offering outstanding Classical Tap technique and choreography!

We teach Tap, Jazz and Ballet basics in our family friendly neighbourhood studio in Etobicoke. We are conveniently located near Eglinton and Renforth Drive - 401 and 427 area of Toronto.

We offer lessons to ages 3 to adult, all levels- beginner to professional, in small groups maximum 4 students, semi-private ( 2 students ) and private ( 1 student ) lessons.

Classical Tap, sometimes referred to as “Hollywood Tap” is the style made famous by Tap greats Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and the Nicholas Brothers. Classical Tap dancers incorporate elements of Jazz and Ballet into their Tap resulting in a graceful effortless mastery of movement.

Our Tap has a strong focus on technique, musicality and dynamics. We are dedicated to preserving the art of Classical Tap!

Every class is tailored to the dancers ability and all dancers receive the best training- whether they choose dance as a recreational outlet or are serious dancers.

All students are encouraged to take Jazz or Ballet to develop the mastery of upper body movement required in Classical Tap.

Don’t get lost in the crowd! Come enjoy our small classes and become a part of our amazing dance family!
