Tap Targets - methods for using tap to reach developmental milestones
Tap class is technique, musicality, and rhythm -- but it is also so much more! It's a powerful tool for whole-body development. Tap Targets gives you a set of checklists packed with ideas for using tap skills and concepts to help your young dancers grow in key developmental areas, including:
- The 5 senses
- Balance and vestibular motion
- Proprioception
- Power
- Control
- Coordination
Use these lists of ideas as a launching point to build your own lessons and curriculum, weaving purposeful, developmentally-minded moments into every class.
Tap Targets is designed as a companion to Tap Tally, our age-based checklist of tap skills for ages 2–7 — pair the two to plan classes that are both skill-building and developmentally rich.
Give your students more than just tap technique — give them tap class that supports how their bodies and minds grow.
