Dance Fitness Classes for Adults in Melbourne

Tap dance classes for adults who want more than a workout.

Looking for a fitness class that doesn’t feel a workout

Tap dance is one of the best kept secrets in adult fitness.

It's a genuine cardio workout, but you're too busy counting beats and learning combinations to notice. Your brain is working as hard as your body.

And at the end of class, what you feel isn't just tired. It's the satisfaction of getting better at something real.

A tap dance fitness class includes:

  • A warm up

    You’ll be lead through a thorough warm up to get your mind and body ready to go!

  • Technique

    Your teacher will explain new tap steps, or go through steps you’re still working on, you’ll be taken through how to execute them, the technique to make the steps feel easier, you’ll learn tap terminology, rhythms and musicality. You’ll also have plenty of time to practice everything you’ve been working.

  • Across the floor

    Across the floor work really gets the cardio going, you’ll be combining new steps you’ve been working on along with steps you’ve already mastered.

  • Routines

    Where you start putting everything that you’ve learnt into practice. You’ll learn how to transition from one step to another, and you’ll end up with a complete routine. Such an achievement.

Megan, the principal teacher at the Melbourne Tap Studio teaching an adult dance class

Meet Megan – principal teacher

I started tap dance as an adult beginner, which means I know exactly what it's like to walk into a dance class thinking, “what have I got myself into?”

But I also know what happens a few weeks in, when your feet start doing things you didn't think were possible, and you leave class feeling like you achieved something pretty special.

Not just moved. But learned something as well.

That's what tap dance does that a treadmill never will.

It makes you think, it makes you work, and it makes you want to come back.

I'll see you on the floor.
