TAP

Overview

Asia Pacific Dance Association's Tap Evolution syllabus provides each student with solid technical training, performance training, and the platform to create, achieve and grow as a dancer and artist. From Rhythm Rockets through to Solo Seal, our tappers also work with the NZAMD syllabus, sitting both exams from Fleet Feet onwards.

Since we began working with the Tap Evolution syllabus, we are incredibly proud to have had many dancers place in the top 5 in Australasia. Our senior tappers have placed in the NZAMD scholarship, competing with dancers from around New Zealand.

Students work towards sitting a mid-year exam and then in term 3 and 4 they work on an item for our annual show.

Competition work is offered in solos, duos, trios and troupes. Entry is through invitation or audition processes.
