Repertory Classes
Advanced Beginning Rep with Lynn Schwab
Adults & Teens 13+
Are you ready to hone your performance skills through classic and contemporary tap works? Each Session a choreographer teaches a work of tap repertory geared to Advanced Beginning level students.
March 5 - June 11, 2011
Saturdays, 5:00 - 6:15pm
Lynn Schwab teaches both classic and contemporary tap repertory geared to Advanced Beginning level students, in a fun
and supportive 13-Week course. Students will work on personal style while developing a solid foundation in tap repertory developed by Lynn and handed down to us from past masters of the form. The Session ends with
an opportunity to present the work in an informal performance. No drop-ins allowed, but students may take one class before registering for the 13-Week Session. Students in this Repertory course are encouraged to attend one of our weekly Advanced Beginning tap technique classes or the Rudiments class.

Rhythm is our Business
In January of 2010, we moved into our new
home at the American Tap Dance Center. Our training programs promote the joyful embodiment of rhythm and build critical life skills through active cooperation, creative problem solving, patience, confidence, discipline and attuned listening.
BUT, we need a new LIGHTING SYSTEM to function properly. We have lights, but they are old, broken down and very harsh. We have around 500 people coming each week for daily tap classes. 190 of these students are kids. They deserve to see and be seen!
Your donations, large or small, will make this happen. We have already enlisted the DONATED services of a parent who is an expert in the field, and Con Edison is offering a 70% discount on energy efficient systems. We know what we need, and we are ready to act. The cost of our new lighting system will be realized in savings on our utility bill within two years!
