Description of Class
Lesley's tap dancing emulates the styles of our classic Broadway & Hollywood movie musicals!
Style: Tap with theatre dance movement . . .This class has a unique style that varies from jazz to Broadway musicals to movie musicals.
Technique: Emphasis is on the articulation of sounds, including how to "tone and color" the taps, how to use the body in connection with the footwork, and most importantly, how to use the body and footwork in relationship with the floor.
