Workshops are free for participants. Registration is required, and space is limited.

This tap dance workshop series is part of Jamii’s October Cycle and reflects the 2026 theme, It Feels Right. Led by tap dancer Elise McGrenera, the workshops centre rhythm as a shared language that connects body, music, and collective movement.

Participants explore foundational tap steps, coordination, and musicality through guided exercises and creative play. The workshops emphasize feeling rhythm through the whole body and building confidence through repetition and exploration. The space is welcoming and supportive, encouraging participants to move at their own pace while staying connected as a group.

Comfortable shoes are welcome, and participants may bring tap shoes if they have them.

These workshops are open to participants of all experience levels. No prior tap or dance experience is required. Participants are encouraged to engage in ways that feel comfortable and expressive.
