Tap Shoes for Dance For Athletes Class

Help me give my students tap shoes for new dance for athletes class.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Casimir's classroom raised $693

This project is fully funded

My Project

This year we have begun a new course entitled Dance for Athletes. Our students have absolutely enjoyed learning about different genres of dance and are eager to continue. We have learned about Yoga, Ballet, Jazz, and World Dance and how the fundamentals of these genres directly impact athletes.

With your donation, we will use the tap shoes to have an authentic experience in our unit on Tap Dance.

Instead of using our street shoes or barefeet to learn the technique, our athlete-dancers will be able to use the tap shoes to not only replicate the learned movement, but also the sound. It's what makes tap "TAP"!

Our students are excited to begin our unit on tap and your donation will assist not only this course but future courses as well!
