OUTREACH PROGRAM – LET'S TAP!

BINS and BINS of TAP SHOES

Vancouver Tap Dance Society strives to be an innovative leader in the promotion of tap dance and is dedicated to developing awareness of this art form.

VTDS is a registered charity formed to promote tap dancing by providing quality performances, excellent training opportunities and educating the public on the complexity of this dance form.

VTDS delivers affordable outreach programs to elementary and secondary schools and community centres.  Over the years we have garnered donations of used and new tap shoes, enabling VTDS to provide introductory classes to BC Schools.

VTDS Outreach Program introduces the student to the rudiments of tap dance in a fun and safe environment, introducing youth to the joys of tap dance. Classes are generally 45-60 minutes in length and we recommend each student receive 3-5 consecutive weekly classes. VTDS will facilitate several sessions in one day allowing several classes to benefit from our quality outreach program.

This class is an excellent arts and cultural activity for youth while exploring rhythms and making music with their feet.

The cost for weekly sessions is $75.00 per class and it includes a qualified instructor, quality tap shoes and appropriate music.  We can accommodate up to 25-30 per class. Generally we have sufficient tap shoe sizes to fit everyone.

VTDS is now accepting reservations from schools to book our outreach program from October 2011 –June 2012.

 Please keep VTDS in mind when you are considering activities in your school. 
Contact Anna Kramer, Manager at VTDS 604 253 0293 to discuss this opportunity. Tap dance is fun, very percussive- everyone loves it, once they try it!

This program has been successfully delivered to Kitsilano Secondary, Queen Elizabeth, Thunderbird, Hastings, Tillicum, to name a few, also Children’s Festival, PNE and neighbourhood houses.
