Philadelphia is one of the most important cities to the history of tap dance. One hundred years ago, Philly street corners were the original "Youtube" channel, where you could see the best talent and challenge another dancer's skills. Philly street hoofin is a particular tap dance style that uses dynamic, close to the floor sounds, quick rhythms, and has an 'edge' that is decidedly Philly! This all-levels class will teach Philadelphia dances and etudes that were passed down from the feet of LaVaughn Robinson and will give plenty of history nuggets along the way.
Fee: $60.00
