You’ve thought about this more than once.

Told yourself you might try it…
but not yet.

Because you’re not sure:

if you’ll keep up
if you’ll feel awkward
if everyone else already knows what they’re doing

This is where you start.

Not when you feel ready.
Not when you feel confident.

Just here.

A small group of adults who are starting from scratch (or starting again).

No performance.
No pressure to get it right.

You don’t need any experience. You just need to start.

Just a room full of people figuring it out, one step at a time.

This class is designed for you if:

you’ve opened this website before, and then closed it again

you keep thinking “I should just try it”, but something holds you back

you’re not sure if your body will cooperate, or if your brain will keep up

you worry everyone else will get it faster than you

you want something that feels good to do,
not something you have to push through

Sound like you? You’re in the right place.

What this class is (and isn’t):

  • This is:

    a place to start, even if you don’t feel ready

    a small-group where no one is put under pressure

    a class paced for people figuring it out as they go

    a space where it is okay to get this wrong

    focused on how it feels to move, not how it looks

  • This isn't:

    a performance, no one is watching you

    a test, no one is keeping score

    a commitment to anything beyond this class

    a room full of people who already know what they’re doing

What to expect on the night:

When you arrive, you won’t be expected to know anything.

  • you’ll be welcomed, shown where things are and given a moment to settle,

  • we’ll start with an easy warm-up to get you moving and feeling a bit more at ease in your body,

  • from there, you’ll learn some simple tap basics, broken down clearly, at a pace that makes sense,

  • then we’ll put the steps together into a short combination, this is when things usually click and you realise ‘I’m doing it’

  • by the end, you’ll have shown up, tried something new, and taken that first step

And that first step? That’s where everything starts.

What you don’t need:

You don’t need to arrive feeling ready.

You don’t need to be fit, or flexible, or co-ordinated.

You don’t need rhythm, or confidence, or any kind of dance background.

And you don’t need tap shoes to get started.

Most people walk in feeling unsure. Most people walk out wanting to come back.

One Hour. This is where it starts.

If you’ve been thinking about this for a while, this is your moment.

Not when you feel ready. Not when you feel confident. Just now.

Come as you are.
Start where you are.
See how it feels.

This is your place to start.

A one-off intro to tap class for adults, who’ve been thinking about it, but haven’t walked through the door yet.

No pressure.
No expectations.
Just a place to begin.

Spots are limited, so the group stays small and supportive.

When: Thursday 23 July. 7.30pm
Where: 225 Swan Street, Richmond
Investment: $28.00

  • "The Melbourne Tap Studio has improved my fitness and my mind-set."

    In just six months, l've gone from being unable to stand up in tap shoes to confidently tapping through routines. The Melbourne Tap Studio has improved my fitness and my mind-set.

  • "Megan is a fantastic tap dancer and teacher with boundless energy and charisma."

    “Megan is a fantastic tap dancer and teacher with boundless energy and charisma. She enthusiastically drives and inspires her students with her razzmatazz style, at the same time ensuring that we dance with correct technique.”

  • "Classes are a lot of fun and are super social- plus they are a great workout."

    “Tap classes with Megan at The Melbourne Tap Studio is the highlight of my week! I’d never thought I’d be able to pick up tap as an adult but Megan is such a great teacher and really focuses on building excellent technique. I started in Megan’s Beginner class and I have seen an huge improvement in my tap technique, as well as an improvement in my balance and coordination. The classes are a lot of fun and are super social- plus they are a great workout. I’d highly recommend starting your tap journey with Megan at The MelbourneTap Studio!”

    Millie, Richmond, Melbourne

Meet Megan – your tap teacher, hype woman, and the one cheering you on when you think you’re not getting it.

I didn’t grow up dancing. I started as an adult beginner, so I know exactly what it feels like to walk into class thinking, “everyone else knows what they’re doing.”

My job isn’t to turn you into a pro dancer.
It’s to help you feel comfortable enough to keep going.

No pressure.
No being put on the spot.
No one watching you mess it up.

Just a room where everyone’s figuring it out together.

If you’ve been hovering on the edge of trying this…consider this your sign.

Things you’re probably wondering.

  • No, you can just wear any pair of lace up shoes with a leather sole, or wear your runners.

  • Definitely not, we don’t teach children, only adults

  • Wear comfortable gear that you can move in, preferably with layers…you’ll get pretty warm.

  • Just bring your shoes, a bottle of water and you might need a small towel.

  • That’s exactly why this class exists, you build it as you go.

  • Keeping up isn't the goal. Understanding what you're doing is. Everything is broken down clearly and nobody gets left behind.

  • Possibly, for about five minutes. Then you’ll realise everyone else feels the same.

Start here. Decide later.

This class stands on its own. No commitment. No pressure to continue.

But if you love it, and most people do, here’s what comes next:

  • a 6-week Absolute Beginners course, or

  • ongoing beginner tap dance classes

But you don’t have to think about that now. Just start here.
