Tap dancing for fun, fitness and entertainment

Tap classes provide a fantastic way to combine exercise, rhythm and coordination. The lively, rhythmic tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer’s shoes touch a hard floor makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician.

There are some basic things you will learn during your tap classes at STUDIO 19 Centre for Performing Arts and ballet academy in Eustis, Florida:

1. Tap shoes - Make sure your tap shoes are flexible and supportive of the foot. 
2. Posture - Stand tall with your weight slightly forward over your toes. Pull in the tummy muscles and tuck under your seat muscles, arms relaxed and chin and eyeline well lifted.
3. Relaxation - Relaxed knees and ankles make the tap sound so much better!
4. Tap tone and accent - There is no need to thrash the floor taping quietly with the odd louder moments makes tap more interesting to the ear 5. Time - Is the beat of the music which you dance to.
6. Tempo - The speed at which the music is played
7. Rhythm - This is where you can create patterns with tap steps to make unusual and intricate rhythms.
8. Timesteps - They are a series of steps to a repetitive rhythm, these develop throughout the grades from shuffle timesteps to pick-up timesteps and many more.
9. Tacit - This is where the music or the dancer is silent for a bar of music or more. When the music goes silent the dancer is expected to keep the rhythm going and be exactly on time when the music starts up again, very difficult sometimes.

Smile and enjoy your tap classes! Improve your fitness level and overall dancing ability.

Ballet is about art, but it is also about life

Ballet is a fascinating art form that’s both exciting to do, and to watch. It is a lifelong adventure to learn ballet and for some, discovering dance can be life-changing.

Ballet dancers are fit, strong and flexible, and they are lifelong students. To be able to perform at the best of their ability, dancers need focus, commitment and a capacity for hard work.

Initially children (5–12 years) learn ballet for enjoyment, physical, rhythmic and expressive skill development. The pathway to becoming a dancer may vary, and we suggest you to start by taking classes at Studio 19 Centre of Performing Arts.

Although it can be a little more difficult to learn ballet moves than the moves and steps of modern forms of dances, the satisfaction and fulfillment you get once you have learned the basic moves and you know how to dance on pointe are indeed amazing.

Keep in mind that if you want to learn ballet moves, building flexibility and core body strength should be your first priority to help you execute your moves well and prevent you from injuries. When you, especially if you are an adult beginner, learn ballet, there is a lot of information to absorb about basic positions. The basics of ballet exercises begin with posture, turnout, and flexibility. Having enough flexibility to stand with a neutral spine is an advantage.
