Tap in the Schools KSR has developed a comprehensive grade school program incorporating tap dance to enrich student’s after-school experiences. Designed for a semester or longer, the program can be brought into elementary and middle schools in any city across the country. Our Program We offer a high quality, arts enrichment program called “Body of Sound” or “Tap with Class.” While the subject of this kinetic learning is tap dance – the skills, technique, musicality and culture of this art form – the improvisational and collaborative nature of tap dance and tap culture also allow us to teach problem-solving skills, respect for diversity of voices and talents, how to accept leadership roles and how to share knowledge by teaching one’s peers. For many students, this is the first dance class they have ever taken.

National Tap Dance Day will feature performances by KSR’s Youth Tap Ensemble, as well as performances from students and dance studios around the metro. This event is free to attend and typically hosts a capacity crowd comprised of student’s families and friends, dance lovers, and local area residents. We foster a welcoming environment and are always excited to host attendees as diverse as our performers! Each year there are other performance opportunities, such as the Twin Cities Tap Festival, St. Paul Winter Carnival, Universal Dance Destiny, and others.
