  • "Tap has so many health benefits."

    This is the best place to start learning tap, Megan is a very talented and patient teacher. I started learning tap much later in life and I love it, tap has so many health benefits, and Megan's classes are such fun. It's always a challenge learning new things and Megan ensures no one gets left behind and goes over the steps until you feel comfortable with a routine. I can highly recommend this school.

  • Yes please. Bookings ensure we know who is coming, in case there is a last minute change for any reason. If you do happen to forget to book, you can still join in though, just check that the class is running before you turn up.

  • You can, but, because the classes work as a progressive course of learning we add to the repertoire and routines each week. You’ll have a better experience if you can attend on a regular basis, once a week is fine, twice a week is even better.
