Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) for Boys and Girls.
Classes are undertaken from Pre-Primary level through to Majors. The origins of TAP come from Africa, Irish, Clog and American Dance. Students use their feet to strike the floor, beating out differing rhythms and creating a distinctive sound.
