Tap Tally - A Checklist for Tap Skills for ages 2 through 7
Tap Tally: A Guide for Teaching Tap to Ages 2–7
Take the guesswork out of planning your tap classes for young dancers. Tap Tally breaks down exactly what to teach and when, with age-specific skill checklists for ages 2–3, 4–5, and 6–7, plus suggested class flows to keep lessons moving with purpose.
Young tap dancers aren't ready for the same technical elements as older students — and that's okay. Tap Tally helps you build what matters most at this age: rhythm, musicality, and joyful self-expression, one repetition at a time.
Use these checklists and class flows as a launching point to create your own lesson plans with confidence, tailored to your studio, your students, and your teaching style.
What's included:
- Age-based skill checklists (2–3, 4–5, 6–7)
- Suggested class flows
- A developmentally thoughtful approach for your youngest tappers
Give your students a strong tap foundation — one spark of rhythm at a time.
