Class Descriptions:

     Megan Leitzinger’s Advanced Beginner Tap Class is a place where dancers from all levels can come together and dance.  She includes all types of music, from musical theater to classic rock, finding new rhythms and musicality throughout the class.   Megan creates options in her class so every student is able to challenge him/herself to their own appropriate level.  She also works with her students on their performance quality.  In the end it is most important to Megan that her students are learning new things, progressing in their technique, and enjoying tap dance.   She pushes her students and keeps the energy very positive in the class to ensure that the dancers are having fun.  After all, that is what it is all about!
