Tappin’ In was an exciting 12-week adventure in tap dance and percussive movement.
Whether the participants were seasoned dancers or never tapped before, this was a chance to learn, create and connect with the community in a fun and welcoming environment.
What was in store?
- A chance to learn tap dance with professional dancers and musicians
- Weekly 2-hour sessions packed with fun, rhythm and storytelling
- The chance to perform at a local community event to showcase what we’ve created together
- Be part of a dance film with a special premiere screening
- Completely free of charge
- Free tap shoes provided – which are yours to keep
Alongside tapping and dancing, we shared stories, laughs and plenty of cups of tea.
No previous dance experience was necessary. Everybody welcome, any age from 18 to 100! You could try seated dance body percussion, whatever feels right for you is OK with us.
Dates for the sessions were: 17 & 24 April, 8, 15, 22 & 29 May, 5, 12, 19, 26 June & 3 July.
“I had an amazing experience, made new friends, learnt new skills and got to perform on stage in front of amazing crowd.”
