Build your Tap knowledge from the ground up! We'll break down every basic Tap step from your step, heel drop, dig and brush to knowing the difference between your Flap and Shuffle. From there we'll begin to combine movements into core building exercises that will strengthen your mind and physical abilities! Gain confidence in beginning your path to becoming a Tap Dancer! *Tap Shoes are required for this workshop. See the Capezio Boutique at Peridance or visit the Flagship store in Midtown. Invest in a basic pair of flat heeled Tap shoes, no need to break the bank to participate! Please note that this is a 5-class series. There will be no class held on Monday July 4th, 2016

Meet Katie!

Katharine Pettit is a NYC based Tap Dancer and teacher, Director/Choreographer. Most recently she served as Ms. Susan Stroman's SDC (Stage Directors and Choreographers) observer on BULLETS OVER BROADWAY. This experience shaped her work and cultivated an already present hunger for all Tap styles, to blend her studies from Classic Broadway Tap and Jazz to Musical Theater of the now which combines our perception of new age sounds with rhythm and soul.

She's studied under Derick Grant, Derek Roland, Andrew Black and Roxanne Butterfly to name a few of the major influences in her Tap education. Her choreography credits include The Gallery Players THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE and TOP OF THE HEAP, The Araca Project's HOT MESS IN MANHATTAN (assoc. choreo), Jim Rado and The Fundamental Theater Projectâ€™s SUPERSOLDIER which she associate directed as well as appeared as a performer, FringeNYCâ€™s BARCODE (assoc. choreo), GARY THE INVINCIBLE (Dir./Choreo.) and is currently working on a number of different new works in development. Her belief in new musicals and new dance theater allows her creativity to thrive and know no limits!
