Tap Intensive Ages 11-18

About Camp

Participants spend the week diving into the vast world of tap dance for High Intermediate and Advanced levels. Each day, students train in rhythm tap technique and choreography while also taking classes focused on tap history, musical theatre, audition techniques, and improvisation. Guest teaching artists bring their unique styles and teaching methods to broaden exposure and knowledge of tap. The intensive culminates with an informal showing highlighting the choreography learned, displaying a variety of tap styles and music. Participants begin the week with a placement class to determine levels. The Tap Intensive is recommended for COCA students in Tap IV and above or dancers with 6+ years of tap technique. Submit an audition video with a class combination or improv, no more than 2 minutes. Contact Kirven Douthit-Boyd (kdouthit-boyd@cocastl.org) or Antonio Douthit-Boyd (adouthit-boyd@cocastl.org), COCA Co-Artistic Directors of Dance, for more information or to submit an audition video.
