Ongoing community classes in tap dance are offered by Sara to adults, with special classes planned especially with seniors in mind. Introductory through intermediate levels continue throughout the year, and master classes with guest faculty are being added to the schedule for 2011.

This joyous American art form attracts and creates its own community of health-conscious people who want to enjoy the dance they've loved watching in Hollywood movies and Broadway shows. These classes provide adults of all ages (twenty-one and up) with their own environment separate from teen and children's classes.

The Tap Style focuses on the chorus-line tradition of Broadway but provides an excellent foundation for any style of tap, including rhythm tap and jazz tap. These classes are excellent for preparing for auditions for musical theater productions. Sara is able to coach students in a full range of styles, arms, turns, and techniques to assist in advanced and professional performance.
