The Omaha School of Music and Dance is a great location for kids’ tap dance classes as we pride ourselves on having fabulous teachers, small class sizes, and we tailor our classes to meet the needs of our students.
Meet our Fabulous Tap Teachers
In our studio, we have two wonderful tap dance teachers named Jessie and Charity. They each teach our tap classes. Here is a little background information on each:
Teacher Jessie
Jessie has a rambunctious and spunky attitude and has loved to dance ever since she was 4 years old! During her dancing career she has been awarded All-American Dancer of the Year, Runner-Up at UDA Nationals, and captain of the Millard West Dance team. At the Omaha School of Music and Dance Jessie teaches ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, and our adult combo class.
Teacher Charity
Charity began dancing while studying under Jessica Smith of En L’air Dance Academy and Valerie Roche of Omaha Academy of Ballet where she achieved top honors of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing examinations. She also has performed for the Omaha Community Playhouse and was accepted into Kirov Academy of Ballet and Briansky Center for Ballet in New York. As a mother and an instructor, Charity is passionate about child development and teaching in a positive, inspiring, and structured environment while sharing the beauty and art of dance. At the Omaha School of Music and Dance Charity teaches ballet, pre-pointe, jazz, tap, hip hop, and lyrical.
Why do We Have Small Class Sizes?
One of the best things about our studio is our class sizes. We pride ourselves on having fewer than 12 students in each class. This helps our students get the personalized attention they need, while also ensuring that the class is not disruptive. Each student will be known by their first name and each student will be guided individually by our teachers.
All about our Tap Classes
One interesting thing about our tap classes is that they are usually combined with another style of dance. For example, our current class options are for a jazz/tap combo class. These styles of dance pair well together and help the kiddos learn a wide variety of dance skills.
If this sounds like a good fit for you, our jazz/tap combo class has two time options:
- Ages 3-5 – Monday 5:15 – 6:00 with Charity
- Ages 6-10 – Monday 5:15 – 6:00 with Jessie
