In this tap dance workshop for middle school students at my school, we began by building a strong foundation in the basics of tap. Students learned fundamental steps such as the Buffalo, Shirley Temple, and other introductory combinations, focusing on rhythm, coordination, and clarity of sound. The workshop meets once every six-day school cycle, allowing students to consistently build and reinforce their skills over time. As the workshop progressed, we began working on a choreographed combination that allows students to apply these skills in a more connected and expressive way. Over the course of the program, students have shown significant growth in both their technical ability and confidence as performers.
