Competition Tap Lessons
These lessons are primarily with Denise, but can include other members of the team. Positions are by invitation only. Lessons are typically 30 minutes long and dancers learn solo work for local competitions. Generally, a dancer begins with a tap solo, then a song and dance solo and can work through a variety of dance styles as they grow and develop their repertoire. Some at home practise is required, as the lessons are ‘one on one’ and a high level of motivation and passion helps an individual dancer flourish and improve their skills. It is also best if the primary support parent is present at the lessons. Costumes are required for competitions. A variety of options are available including second-hand costumes through my parent list, Weissman online costumes and custom-made costumes by Christine Wedlake or your own dress maker.
