Prep – Year 12
Confident Kids Performing Arts School offers fun and energetic Tap classes for children of all ages and abilities in Cranbourne West. Tap is a unique dance style that turns movement into music, helping students develop rhythm, coordination, musicality, and strong technique through engaging exercises, combinations, across the floor work, and exciting routines.
Whether your child is taking their very first Tap class or looking to further develop their skills, our experienced teachers help students discover the joy of tap while becoming confident performers. Confident Kids also believes in providing age appropriate music, costumes, and a welcoming community where every child feels included and supported.
We are proud members of the Southern Federation of Dance (SFD) and follow their highly respected syllabus. In line with SFD training, students can participate in tap exams.
Tap classes provide children with an exciting opportunity to develop rhythm, timing, coordination, balance, and musicality. As students learn to create different sounds and rhythms with their feet, they improve their listening skills, concentration, and body awareness. Tap also strengthens memory as children learn increasingly complex combinations and routines, while providing an enjoyable form of physical activity that supports overall fitness and coordination.
At Confident Kids Performing Arts School, our Tap classes offer much more than learning steps. Students develop confidence as they master new skills, perform for audiences, and work together as part of a team. Tap encourages perseverance, discipline, and creativity while giving children the opportunity to express themselves through movement and music. Tap provides valuable skills that complement many other dance styles and create lifelong memories.
Not at all. Our Tap classes welcome beginners as well as students with previous dance experience. Beginners are taught the fundamentals in a supportive environment, while more experienced dancers can continue to refine their technique and performance skills.
