Defining Tap Dance Levels

Tap dance levels are tricky business. 

Why?

Because there is no standard level that is acknowledged by the Tap Dance Community at large.

This means that what is considered advanced in one place can often be considered Advanced Beginner in another. 

So… 

How do you label the levels of classes at a dance studio?

What about at a Tap Festival?

How do you know which level to sign yourself up for? 

How do you know which level to place a student in?
