"HOW TO PRE-REGISTER:

The Intro to Tap class does not run end to end/session to session. It requires a minimum of 9 students. When there are enough interested parties the session can start. What has worked in the past is submitting your contact information (name, phone number, and email to the teacher Gregg Geoffroy). He will add you to the list and give you a follow-up call to inform you of a possible start date. In the rare event that a session isn't going to happen for awhile Gregg suggests a private lesson to get you going and then a drop-in date to the existing class. Particularly if you've already had some tap lessons.

Students are strongly encouraged to pay for the session upfront, which keeps them motivated/invested in their development. To reinforce this, classes will cost much less than the drop-in rate (details when you talk to Gregg).

Unless you already have tap shoes don't buy them before taking the first couple of classes and/or have talked with Gregg. He will make recommendations and help you decide by giving you information to consider. For the first class or two you can wear any low-heeled, solid soled shoe (preferably lace up, or at least very snug). Rubber soles and heels are not recommended. Any additional questions, direct them to Gregg.
