More advanced classes will involve more intricate rhythms and combinations. Tap dancing is a great way to develop musicality, timing and balance.

“Studio B. has been a wonderful and supportive place to get back into dancing as a young adult. I took beginning/intermediate adult tap with Amber for about a year and the class size more than doubled while I was there. I highly recommend Studio B. for adult and kids classes alike!”
