Minnesota Conservatory for the Arts is thrilled to announce that it will be partnering with WINONArts to bring tap dance to the Levee on Tuesday evenings this fall. No matter your age Tap is a great way to exercise and challenge your mind and what could be better than doing it with a view of the Mississippi in the background! Classes will be limited and size and each student will be required to bring their own tap board to class each week. Don’t worry if you don’t have a tap board or shoes, MCA has a free tap shoe lending program and has a limited number of tap boards which can be checked out with a deposit. Please check out class descriptions below to find the one that is right for you. Class size is limited so register early!

Tap II
An intermediate level of rhythm tap technique. Students will be introduced to exercises and concepts to increase articulation of sounds, musicality, sequencing abilities, and expand the student’s tap vocabulary. *
Students joining in-person will need to familiarize themselves with MCA's COVID Code of Conduct.
Students joining via Zoom will just need a space with a floor that is safe for tapping on (MCA has tap boards which can be checked out), and a device enabled with Wi-Fi. We will be using Zoom and will enable cameras so if students wish to be able to interact with the instructor and other students, otherwise families can choose to not share their image. We recommend students wear dance apparel and shoes if they have them and have a water bottle near by to set them up for success.
