Tap Patrol - Melbourne

Tap Dance...it’s hot, it’s historic, it’s a great workout and your footwork and rhythm will never be so good! Most of all, it’s awesome fun and you can do it on your own but it’s better (and louder) in a group!

Tap Patrol classes will give you the opportunity to develop solid tap dance and footwork skills, learn original Tap Patrol performance routines and traditional routines (such as the Shim Sham Shimmy), make new friends and have a lot of fun! Classes for both the newbies and experienced tappers.
