About our tap dance classes
Children and adults love the sound tap shoes make from the very first lesson. Tap is relaxed, rewarding and full of musicality. Famous tappers such as Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers helped define the style, and it still lights up stages and screens today.
We teach tap dance on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at Westwood Social Club in Tilehurst, Spencers Wood Pavilion in Spencers Wood, Kennet Valley Free Church in Fords Farm and The Cornwell Centre in Tilehurst. There are 9 weekly classes to choose from.
