Cutting-Edge Tap Teacher Training is the FASTEST Path to Leading Fun, Full & Successful Tap Classes

Hi, I'm Karida - Radio City Rockette, Professional Tap Dancer & Educator.

I'm here for you and your students. Why?

Because no Tap student should feel left out - either feeling discouraged and hiding out in the back corner of the class, or feeling bored as they stand around waiting for the next challenge. That student is looking to you for hope & guidance NOW ❤️

The Tap Teachers' Lounge professional development program fast-tracks the teacher's skills as an educator with my professional experience as the guide.

Together, you and I will make sure that your teaching skills & tools are sharp so that your students walk out of every Tap class sweating, smiling, and counting the days til they come back to you again. 

By the end of the Tap Teachers' Lounge training program you will:

• IMPLEMENT my best, most cutting-edge strategies for teaching Tap dance, based upon my wide range of performing teaching experiences
• ENVISION a more expansive, high-quality Tap program that appropriately challenges every level of student
• FACILITATE head-turning progress that your students, families, colleagues and audiences will NOTICE
• STREAMLINE your lesson plans, and get more done in less time
• SHARPEN your skills and become more "opportunistic" in teachable moments 
• CREATE stronger choreography that your students and audiences will remember
• DEVELOP new teaching skills that enable your students to become independent, savvy, fast-learning Tap dancers
• REACH Tap students who struggle the most, and help them to achieve meaningful success
• GAIN confidence, strategies and skills that you will use for your the rest of your teaching career

What Others Are Saying About the

"Tap Teachers' Lounge" Training Program...

"We now have 2 FULL adult Tap classes...we haven't had that in years."

--Anne Marie B.

I've taught tap for a long time, but I was never formally taught how to teach, beyond what I had absorbed from my own teachers. Karida's class has been phenomenal. She is warm, helpful, and caring, which makes it fun. But even more, she has such a defined and rigorous approach to improving musicality in students.

I already had many students who have a good ear, and I've always been pleased with how they progress, but I've always struggled on how to methodically improve rhythmic performance in the dancers for whom that's more of a struggle.

I finally feel like I have an intentional approach, and feel like my own skills have improved so much already. I recommend her class wholeheartedly!!

-- Jessica S.

My students improved so much and are so interested, accountable and conscious.

Definitely gives you tools to create independent, smart dancers, and improve your class on a group level.

Also gives you much more confidence as a teacher, and a lot of tools for correcting and problem-solving. Plus you can always re-visit the material! 

-- Adela A.

If you are a tap teacher, this program is an absolute must!

I have been teaching for 30 years and a studio owner for 20.

Karida has inspired and rejuvenated my entire tap program. 

If you are a new teacher or a seasoned pro, you will benefit from her innovative approach to teaching all levels. Her personal attention and live support are what set her apart from other instructional programs. It is worth every penny and every minute spent. 

I will definitely be signing up the other teachers at my studio. I consider it an investment in the future of my tap program.

-- Molly K.

Karida brings professional knowledge from both training and practice in the field. Her vast education - from NYU, to professional training in NYC, to then going to working some of the top jobs in the field - makes her an invaluable resource for education, for training, for growth.

I highly recommend her online training program.

Anyone who gets the opportunity to learn from Karida will soar and reach their ultimate potential.

She is the consummate professional and will take you to the next level.
