About Our Tap Dance Classes
CCD’s Conservatory Training Program in Tap offers six progressive levels designed to strengthen body alignment, core support, and rhythmic precision—skills essential to tap technique. Students also explore how tap dance grew from African American social dances of the early 20th century. Training emphasizes anatomically sound methods, process‑based learning, and professional standards.
