Croswell offers Tap Classes

Saturday morning tap classes offered at the Croswell
Dancer and choreographer Herb Wiley will offer tap dance classes on Saturday mornings at the Croswell Opera House beginning Jan. 20.

A class for beginners will take place from 10 to 10:45 a.m., and a class for experienced dancers will take place from 11 to 11:45 a.m. At least 10 sessions will be held, through March 24, but people do not have to attend every session.

The classes are intended for adults and for children ages 10 and up.

“When we renovated the Croswell last year and added new spaces, one of the things we wanted to do was start offering more educational opportunities,” said Jere Righter, the Croswell’s artistic director. “A lot of places in Adrian offer dance lessons for kids, but there aren’t many opportunities that include adults, so that’s a niche we thought we could fill. Herb is a great teacher, and I think everybody who comes to the class will have a lot of fun.”

Participants are asked to bring hard-soled shoes. Those who have tap shoes should bring them, but it is not required. Registration is not necessary. A donation of $10 per session is suggested.
