| Limited to 3 classes, this track is focused on the younger tap dancer looking for further instruction on how to improve their skills. Our faculty for Nuggets is hand selected and proficient at teaching this age group. | These classes are for the dancers with at least a few years of training who are confident enough in their skills to start learning harder combinations, but at a slower pace. | For those ready to take on complex combinations at a quick pace with expected knowledge of moves and tricks. These dancers should be proficient but not quite advanced level. | Advanced dancers in this track will be moving quickly through intricate combos. Dancers should be confident in tap improv and working with various time signatures while they continue to hone the skills to master these techniques. | For the true tap professional, these classes are for those ready to take on the challenge of working with our top instructors. Get ready to sweat, because this track will keep you moving non-stop and is sure to impress. |
