Tap dance class for kids

June 2008

Does anyone know a good Tap Dance classes for kids? I search the PBN and newest one is from 2003. Thank you Maro

My 5.5y daughter has been taking a tap/jazz class at Katie's Dance Studio (http://www.katiesdancestudio.com/)for a couple of years. They are very into tap and show dancing--and are very good at it. It's all a little over the top for me, but my daughter loves it and the teachers are great (and good role models). There are boys and girls in the classes and they have a lot of fun. tapper

Tap Dance Classes for 6-1/2 year old

March 2003

My 6-1/2 year old daugher (she'll be 7 in March) would LOVE to take tap dancing lessons. She does her own version of tap dancing around the house ALL the time. Any recommendations? The only one on the website is from April of 2000. We live in Oakland and I am a full time working mom, so classes in the late weekday afternoons or on the weekends are preferred. Thanks for your help. Shoshana

Try Cerrito Dance Arts Center at 1534 Kearney Street in El Cerrito, near Target (cross street Potrero). The phone # there is 234-2780. Maryse Young teaches tap/ballet, and she's great. My daughter started dancing there rather late, when she was in 6th grade, and she loves it! They have Saturday and afternoon classes. If you don't get a call back after leaving a message, just show up one Saturday morning at 9:15 for the beginning class, and watch and talk to Maryse. The studio is an old converted carriage house behind the main house, through a gate. Good luck! spichler

Tap for Adults

July 2002

Okay, so I just watched ''Singing In The Rain'' with my 4 year old, and I'm all hyped up about taking tap classes. Can anyone recommend a great tap class for adults here in Oakland/Berkeley?

    Tap for 6-year-old

    2001

    our 6 year old would like to take tap dancing classes - we have heard that Chris Bell at Studio J is wonderful, but we can't find any listings in the phone book. Does anyone know if Studio J is still in existance? Thanks Mary

    Studio J changed ownership more than a year ago. It is now called The Beat ... (See The Beat for the rest of this review, and two others.)

    Tap Classes for 4-year-old

    April 2000

    Any ideas about a tap class for an active four year old boy who wants to dance fast and loud? He has been watching "Singing in the Rain", tap dancing with great enthusiasm, and asking about a class. All the web site recs are old, non-tap, or far away (we're in N. Oakland). Montclair rec center has something but it looked very sedate and I don't think he'd do well. Any ideas out there? Thanks. Leah
