ISTD Tap Classes

ISTD Examination Class

At the Debbie Fyffe Theatre School, we offer ISTD Tap classes for all standards. By following the ISTD syllabus, students work on structured exercises and amalgamations. Learning to tap dance will teach children the enjoyment of dance through the different sounds and the creation of rhythms. Within a typical tap dance class children work on technical exercises to improve the quality of their beats, line and style, body alignment and learn to develop light and shade within a sequence of steps.

The rhythmic content of the ISTD Tap classes covered, will improve musicality and development of different music styles. These classes are designed to increase simple beats from a young age to percussive feet improving your child’s rhythmic awareness, timing, co-ordination and sense of performance, whilst gaining a toe tapping sense of achievement.

At DFTS children can start Tap classes from 2 ½ years of age.

This is an ISTD Examination class and pupils have the opportunity to take an exam within this discipline from the age of 6 years.
