TAP DANCE
at Topaz Dancentre
Here at Topaz we offer IDTA graded examinations from Preparatory up to Advanced 2, and UKA medal assessments. Classes are available for children and adults.
​
We offer a holistic approach to dance, and we do not push students through examinations until they are ready. We ensure that the opportunity for performance, and dancing for mental and physical wellbeing is held as important as graded examinations. No examinations, assessments or performances are compulsory, though we encourage students to participate as the boost it gives to their self-esteem can be priceless.
​
IDTA examinations offer UCAS points from Intermediate Grade (equivalent to an A Level) up to Advanced 2 (being equivalent to a Certificate of Higher Education!).

Classes held throughout the week, please visit our Timetables for scheduling.

Adult tap classes
Our Adult Tap classes follow a more informal structure, with the class teacher in charge of the content and variety of the teaching. This allows the class teacher to really consider which skills each particular class are interested in, what the level of experience and capability is within the group, and really deliver lessons that are engaging, enjoyable and fulfilling. We have classes for all ability levels and all age ranges - if you're ever seeking some Tap Dancing octogenarians we certainly have more than one!!
When it comes to a new person looking to join one of our established classes, we like to ask about prior experience of Tap Dance, of any dance style, general fitness level and what you want to get out of your classes, of course matched with your schedule and when you would be able to attend classes. This allows us to direct newcomers into a class where we believe they will find themselves amongst kindred spirits. Sometimes, we find a newcomer tricky to place. In this situation we may recommend trying more than one class before making an informed decision as to which you feel is the best fit for you!!

Like what you see in our video above? Why not give it a try?? No need to delay, we have no 'start dates'; we believe that there is no time like the present to see if you're a natural Ginger Rogers or Gene Kelly, you just never know what you may learn about yourself!!!
