This was an elective course, one option in the Enrichment Cluster Program at SAR, in which students choose an area that they are drawn towards, and explore that area with like-interested students and teachers. Each area begins with a probing question that is explored over the semester.

The blurb to describe the cluster:
The blurb: TAP Into It
Play with rhythm while having fun in this exploration of the world of percussion and tap. Watch tap as it evolves through time in film, studio and stage and observe tap dancing by some of the tap dancing greats. Then, explore the possibilities of sound as we experiment with percussion on various surfaces in and out of the building. Practice tap steps like the brush, scuff, shuffle, scuffle, flap, stomp, stamp, spank, heel and toe click, and paradiddle. Come put on you tap shoes and Tap Into It!
Facilitator: Eva Broder

Multiple Intelligences: Kinesthetic, Musical, Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal
