Tap That Class

It’s been well over a decade since I put on my tap shoes, but I recently dusted them off for a tap class with Nicole. I needed a little routine for a talent show (looong story) and Nicole was oh so helpful.
Nicole offered to meet me at night at her Tap That Class studio for an hour choreography lesson. Unfortunately, that didn’t work with my schedule so instead she offered to teach me a routine at Hubbard Street Dance, where she spends her days. So appreciated her flexibility!
When I showed up for my lesson Nicole was so prepared! She had put together a routine to the song I requested, the modern day version of Puttin on the Ritz. We got right to work. It was the perfect routine for someone who hasn’t tapped in a very looong time. My current skills were a bit embarrassing, but Nicole was so encouraging and complimentary that I felt good about myself. At the end of the hour I had the routine I needed. Easily the best $ 60 I’ve spent.
This was also the most fun «workout» I’ve had in a long time. Unfortunately, Nicole’s classes at Tap That Class aren’t convenient for my schedule (both time and location). However, I had such a good time that I may just try to get my tapping on in one of her adult classes.
I highly recommend for ex-​tappers like myself or anyone looking for a new hobby!

I am a habitual hobby seeker. Tap dancing is one of the few that has stuck, and it has to be because of my teacher Nicole. I have followed her from different studios for years to finally this home as she is fabulous and tapping is fun! The class has a great balance of being not stressful or frustrating yet still challenging. I recommend Nicole as a teacher for anyone looking to dust off those tap shoes from when they were young or for something brand new to do! Not only is she super sweet and funny, but also she knows her stuff and takes the time to make sure her students are picking up the right techniques and rhythm. On more than one occasion she has taken time outside of class to bring me up to speed on routines and combinations. So yeah… 5 stars here!
