Welcome to Warwick Tap
We are Warwick Tap, one of Britain's longest running dance societies run by students! Voted 2019's Best Society Under 100 Members, we offer a range of classes on a weekly basis and perform in a variety of shows, festivals and competitions. One of the biggest events in our calendar is Pizazz! This is the university's largest dance showcase organised by Warwick Tap, which brings together hundreds of dancers from Warwick's other dance societies, winning the SU's award for best 2024 society collaboration. We perform in showcases every term, take two tap teams to compete at inter-university dance competitions, and run weekly socials.
Regardless of ability- we are a fun, friendly, and inclusive society that welcome anyone!
Classes
Our classes are taught at a range of levels so there is something for everyone!
Classes are held on a weekly basis in Westwood Dance Studio on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, all classes have the opportunity to perform a routine in the termly shows.
Beginners: This class will focus on teaching the foundations of tap and building confidence on stage. The beginner class allows members to learn a new skill in a fun and relaxed environment. The society offers tap shoes for anyone without a pair to borrow.
Intermediate: Building on from beginners, Intermediate is aimed at those who have grasped the basic steps and are able to learn at a faster pace while breaking down more complicated steps.
Advanced: Advanced is for tappers who feel confident in the style and teaches routines at a faster pace with less emphasis on breaking down specific steps.
Advanced Plus: Advanced Plus is for those who are very confident and want to have an extra challenge in learning trick steps and speed tapping.
