Tap Classes (Liffey Trust Studios) April-May 2026

ADULT TAP LESSONS in DUBLIN

Location: Liffey Trust Studios, 117-126 Sheriff Street Upper, North Wall, Dublin, D01 HW96

TUESDAYS

April 14 - June 2 (8 classes)

6:30-7:30pm: Beginners Tap (€105)

7:30-8:30pm: Improvers Tap (€105)

This course will culminate in a showcase/social night on Friday June 5th in partnership with Irish Dance Dublin! Participation in the showcase is encouraged, but not required. It's a fun, low-pressure opportunity to perform for a supportive group of peers, family and friends!

DETAILS:

BEGINNERS course is ideal for dancers with less than 1 year experience, for those who have learned a few steps but lack comprehensive technique, or those who feel very rusty. Each week builds upon what you learned the week before. Explore the fundamentals of tap technique, basic steps, fun combinations and a dance routine! (Note - this may be a challenging course for a complete beginner. Complete beginners are encouraged to join in Sept 2026.)

IMPROVERS class is intended for students who have already taken at least one full academic year of Beginners Courses, or for experienced tap dancers looking to brush up their skills. We will keep learning new steps and combinations beyond what you already know, introduce some rhythm-building and improv, and learn a new routine!

If you are unsure which level you should pick, please contact Colleen for advice!

FAQs

What ages are welcome in class?

Tap classes are intended for ages 18+ . I often have a wide age range in my classes, with students in their teens up to their 60s!

What are my transport options for getting to and from the class?

Liffey Trust Studios is 3min walk from the Luas Red Line (The Point) and accessible via numerous Dublin Bus routes.

Parking: Limited street parking, or nearby at The Point Square Car Park (paid)

Do I need my own tap shoes? What should I wear to class?

Students are expected to buy their own tap shoes, a basic pair costs about €35 at Dance World (on Parnell St or in Ranelagh). If you would like to try a few classes before investing in tap shoes, I recommend wearing shoes with a smooth, non-rubbery sole, that has a separate heel and toe (like brogues, not flats). Dress comfortably, you'll work up a sweat! And bring a water bottle!

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?

Contact dance instructor Colleen by phone at 086-451-5833, or by email at [email protected]

I booked into the class, but now I can't go! Can I get a refund?

Course fees are fully refundable up until 13 April 2026.

I booked into the wrong class! What should I do?

Email Colleen at [email protected] and specify which class you actually want, and she will transfer your booking, provided the class is not full.

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

Please either bring your printed ticket, or have it on your phone.

Can I attend class on a drop-in basis?

Priority entry goes to students purchasing the full course, however drop-ins are welcome when space is available. Drop-in rate is €15 per class, cash only at the door. Contact Colleen for availability.

Do you teach on other nights or locations?

I also teach Thursday nights in Dublin 8, booking details are available here. This location includes Beginner, Improver AND Int/Adv levels!
