Tap Dance Classes in Toronto for Kids Teens Adults

What Is Tap Dance?
Tap dance is a lively and rhythmic style where dancers use special tap shoes to create sounds with their feet. It’s a mix of movement and music—every step becomes part of the beat. Tap dance is often seen on stage in musical theatre, but it’s also a fun, energetic way to learn rhythm and control.
At J’Danse Studio, we teach tap in a fun and structured way. Dancers learn timing, clear sounds, and coordination from the very beginning.
