Hey there, Tap Teacher!

Tap class just got EASIER... 

 
Yes! I want to have more fun in Tap class!

How many of these frustrations feel familiar?

  • You want to teach an exciting Tap class but you’re uninspired and stuck in the repetition of the same old teaching routine… and you can feel your students counting down the minutes until Tap class is over.

  •  You want to stay current and keep up with the times but you don’t know where to go for more advanced material… and that means you’re holding your students back from growing in Tap class. 

  •  You want to connect with other Tap teachers but you’re one of the few (if not the only) Tap Teachers at your studio… and that means you’re lonely and don’t have anyone to bounce ideas off of. 

  •  You want to take more Tap classes but the Tap classes near you aren't the right speed or level... which means you’re bored, uninspired and craving an exciting learning experience. 

So you reluctantly search the local teaching Facebook groups to try and find a local Tap class hoping that it's taught by a qualified Tap teacher, with other high-level adults (who aren't your students), on a day and time that you're not already teaching...

Then you hop onto TikTok and Instagram for some Tap Dance reels and posts, but you quickly realize that anyone can post anything and the algorithm doesn't exactly reward solid teaching advice or quality Tap dancing...

Then you scroll scroll scroll on YouTube hoping to find a breakdown video you can trust (heck, maybe you’re here because you were on MY YouTube Channel), only to find that it’s just a one-way screen with no one to answer your questions and make sure you’re understanding how to properly teach it to your students so you don't drill bad Tap Dance habits that will take way too long to fix...

Then you start looking at flights to NYC so you can take masterclasses but the cost of that is wayyyyy too many dollars and then you think to yourself, "I'm teaching weekly Tap classes 38+ weeks of the year and one expensive week in NYC just isn't enough to support me in my weekly Tap classes."  

Don't book a plane ticket to NYC just yet

Hi! I'm Hillary-Marie...

I try not to remember the time that I was a burnt out Tap Teacher.

Flap ballchanging my way through the studio door only to be greeted by the Studio Owner with, “so-and-so dropped out because they think Tap class is too hard.” Ouch...

Then there were the dancers who truly loved Tap class. I wanted to give them so much more than I was able to in that class because, well… the mixed level trap.

Everyone told me, “that’s just how it goes” but I dreamt of a different Tap Dance program: closed out Tap classes packed with students running into class each week saying, “Ms. Hillary! Can I show you the new step I made?”

 I wanted Tap class to be the MOST popular class at the studio.

And you know what?

I did it. I made it happen.

I went on to open my own studio back in 2012: Grooves Unlimited Dance Studio, serving 250 students per season. I toured my award-winning professional Tap Dance company, while being the Founder and Director of Jersey Tap Fest for 10 years, and the Director of pre-professional FutureSTEP Tap Company, and performing as a soloist with musicians all over the world, and traveling to teach and perform at Tap Dance and Jazz Music Festivals all around the world.

And in 2016, I took all of my Tap Dance love, knowledge, appreciation and experience, and poured it into the iTapOnline Member Center.

What should you expect?

In the first 30 days, your Tap classes will be reimagined:

  • Stress-free lesson planning.
  • Taking the time to nurture the lifelong learner in you.
  • Diving into new courses and classes that await you.
  • Always knowing what to teacher and how to teach it.
  • Sharing shuffles with me and other iTap Members along the way.

Within 90 days, you'll have gained a new-found confidence and clarity in your Tap classes by: 

  • Submitting videos to show me what you’re working on with your students (optional, not required).
  • Putting on your Tap shoes on each week (for your own personal practice, not just to teach).
  • Cleaning up your students' technique with structured course lessons. 
  • Deepening your understanding of music theory (and sharing it with your students). 
  • Enjoying improvisation - oh yeah, I said it!
  • Learning more about the history and culture of Tap Dance.

By 180 days, you'll have up-leveled in your students' Tap Dance journey, with:

  • New themes each and every month.
  • Courses that [properly] develop their technique.
  • Historical and Original pieces of choreography.

  • Their crispy clean technique.
  • Their progress as you learn to pick up and retain combinations/choreography with ease.
