Tap Dance Company

Our Tap Dance Company is one of City Academy’s premier resident dance companies. With weekly rehearsals and regular in-studio showcases throughout the year, The Tap Dance Company will help you take your tap dance to the next level.

TAP DANCE COMPANY DIRECTOR

The Tap Dance Company is led by dancer/choreographer Rory Cubbin. 

WHO CAN JOIN

The Tap Dance Company is open to anyone over the age of 18 that has completed a Tap Improvers 2 course at City Academy, an equivalent course elsewhere, or for those that have performance experience in Tap dance.

By doing so you’ll take part in a regular company rehearsal in a relaxed studio setting, giving you the perfect chance to meet the rest of the group in action.
