Why Tap Dance?
In an era where digital screens dominate, tap offers a uniquely tactile art form. Studies show rhythmic movement boosts cognitive function and relieves stress—plus, it’s pure joy. As legendary tapper Gregory Hines once said, "Tap dance is happiness. It’s the kind of thing where you hear the music, and you can’t help but move."
