Connecting Communities with Artists: Tap Dance with Micah Sallid

Come for the shuffles, stay for the vibes 😎 In this beginning tap class participants will learn some tap dance history, basic rudiments, foundational technique. In the intermediate/advanced class, we will be reviewing technique as well as learning combinations, drilling across the floor movement, and work on improvisational technique.

Micah Sallid was born in Los Angeles and began studying with Arlene Kennedy Universal Dance Design and performed with the Kennedy Tap Company, and later moved to the south to become a company member of Decatur City Dance.
