Our Tempo classes lay the foundations of tap, focusing on rhythm, basic technique, and a love for dance through a balanced blend of creative game-based learning and structured technical practice.
All our Tempo classes work through workbooks starting from Tempo Level 1 and ending at Tempo Level 5 before moving onto Rhythm.
Tempo is the perfect spot for those with between 0-3 years tap experience.

Rhythm is the perfect spot for those with between 3-6 years tap experience.
