How are you feeling right now in tap class?
STUCK.
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.
BEHIND.
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.
LONELY.
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.
UNINSPIRED.
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, feeling dry, and craving an exciting learning experience.
It's frustrating!
So I decided to fix it.
There's an easier way...
All you need is a quality online tap dance resource that includes a structured approach with support from a trusted mentor
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT YOU'LL GET IN THE ITAPONLINE STUDIO.
INTRODUCING

It's the leading online studio where passionate tap teachers have the MOST fun, and where my online classes make you feel like you're in the studio with me.

You'll always have something new to share with your students through the 5 Fundamentals of Tap Dance, and I'll be here to answer your questions and mentor you along the way to make sure you're supported, inspired and excited in tap class.
This means you can help your students unlock all the joy that tap dance offers (and leave them walking out of your class with smiles on their face).
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 Studio.
