- Description: Tap Rhythm sought to develop an innovative, online educational programme for students and teachers of tap dancing. Comprising several levels, along with a 'tap dictionary' and the ability to download original musical scores, the syllabus was developed out of a desire to create a resource that was highly interactive and encouraged steady development. Utilising a variety of platforms and suitable for notebooks, tablets and smartphones, Tap Rhythm has already achieved significant international recognition in developing an original resource which accelerates student learning; thereby maintaining enjoyment of the peformance and enabling students to succeed on an international stage.
