Academy of Performing Arts

ADULT AND TEEN TAP

Thursdays 5-6:00

Tap is an enjoyable way to develop core strength, fine and gross motor skills, and musicality. The class will start with a center warm up, move to progressions across the floor and finish with a short choreographed piece. Tap is so much fun, incredibly good for you, and Clare can’t wait to see you on the dance floor!

BIO: Clare MacDonald

Clare started as an assistant dance educator at 12 and went on to earn her bachelor’s in PE and Dance. In her mid 20’s, Clare changed directions and became a Special Education teacher, but dance soon called her back. She spent the next 20 plus years teaching Tap, Ballet, Jazz and Hip Hop at Brixham Danceworks in South Berwick Maine. Her primary focus at Brixham was with the younger population, teens and adults. In addition to joining the Playhouse, Clare works at NRHS in the Special Education department.
