> 17:30 – 19:00 | ADVANCED TAP CLASS : CONTINUITY § STYLE
In the light of the previous 2 classes, Roxane will draw parallelism between her own work and the tap tree she descends from. She will highlight the connection between her creative path with her masters stylistic. “We all are a part of the same constellation” often said Jimmy Slyde. This class proposes to contemplate how all tap stars do reflect each other. Control of the standard tap nomenclature is required to make the best out of this class.
