Could you get more enthusiasm & retention out of Your Pre-K Tap Classes?
You already know that at other studios, there are thriving Pre-combo combo classes that fuel the dance studio’s larger Tap program. As the students “age out” of combo classes, they strut into Tap class with excitement.
And you’re left wondering if you could get more retention and enthusiasm out of YOUR Pre-K Tap classes.
Maybe you’ve felt resigned, or been told “kids just don’t like Tap.” But as you see the dropoff of Tap enrollments after combo classes, inside you’re wondering:
“Am I teaching the right things to the “littles”?
"Could I do something more to bridge the gap?"
"What should I be doing in the Pre-K Tap classes?!”
"What CAN I do in there? They’re so little!”
“30 minutes of Tap feels like 30 YEARS!”
“Do we NEED a Tap class for the littles? They don’t seem to like it.”
Like so many Pre-K dance teachers, your strong suit might be ballet, jazz or even the Hip-Hop side of the combo class.
Or, you teach mostly older Tap classes, and the Pre-Ks are…intimidating. 😳
So the Tap side of the combo class is full of “justs.”
Just do anything, it’s fine.
Just do the basics.
Just do dig-step, shu-ffle-step & freeze dance.
Just keep it fun, simple & cute.
The “just” approach is so common…and that makes sense because…
…What else were you taught to do in there?! There was no “Pre-K Tap Class Roadmap” that would take you anywhere else! You did the best you could with your grit, determination passion for teaching. ❤️
But you may not have known that short-sided, oversimplified plans are the villains!
The “just” approach leads to “Kid just don’t like Tap.”
Shallow, short-sided “JUST do whatever” plans for Pre-K Tap are like a vaccine AGAINST the joy & appreciation of Tap Dance.
You give them just enough exposure to never like it.
If you keep the “just keep it cute, simple & fun” plan, the appreciation of Tap and Tap class retention rates will continue to suffer. 📉
Your dance program will have a lesser reputation than your competitors.
You can even end up like Suzie, a Tap teacher for ages 7 & up, who has to recruit all new students in her classes because NO dance students continue with Tap after the combo class years. ZERO Tap retention.
Count the hundreds of dollars lost every month, and the thousands of dollars the studio has been losing over years.
Now for the Good News: This isn't your fault, and it doesn't have to be your future. There's a way to transform your Pre-K Tap program from "just cute" to genuinely inspiring, setting a foundation for lifelong Tap dance passion & excellence.
Are you ready to break free from this “cute” cycle and create a Tap program that truly excites and educates?
Keep reading…
The Straight-up
Truth Is:
Shallow, short-sided Pre-K class plans sell your Tap program short.
Short on excellence.
Short on retention.
Short on enrollments.
Now for a little quiz.
Which of these scenarios freaks you out the most?
Scenario A: Imagine a Pre-K ballet teacher who spent 2 years teaching kids how to sickle their feet, open up their rib cages, play freeze dance with scarves, and decided to NOT teach pliés because “they’re too young for that.”. And then wonder why the kids don’t excel in ballet?
Scenario B: A swimming instructor who tried to sell parents on swim lessons for 4-year-olds…in a plastic kiddie pool. What kind of legitimate swim instruction can be given? It’d be cute splashing around, but that’s it. Then they outgrow the pool & the splashing fun, and know nothing about swimming. When they go to a real swimming pool and see other kids doing their freestyle, treading & backstroke, they feel embarrassed.
Scenario C: An “all-in-one, jack-of-all-styles Pre-K class plan solution” that claims to understand early childhood development & dance in GENERAL, but doesn’t really understand what’s required to teach the essential building blocks of Tap technique in a way that actually sets Pre-K dancers up for years of success, and sparks their joy for Tap.
They may claim Tap expertise, but how can they really be a “specialist” at every style?
Crazy scenarios, right?
—---
Now let’s think from the perspective of the families who are footing the bill with their hard-earned money.
When parents search for dance classes, do they find a general Pre-K teacher at a preschool? Nope. We know parents find a dance school because teaching ABCs is different than teaching dance.
So yes they look for a teacher who is skilled with young kids.
But! They also assume the Pre-K dance teacher has expertise in EACH STYLE THEY OFFER.
They assume the Pre-K teacher they’re paying knows how to teach real Tap.
Early childhood education lingo and hula hoops might fool parents for awhile, but Tap class enthusiasm & retention rates 📉show that they aren’t fooled for long.
If you’ve already felt the urge to explore ways to make the most out of your Pre-K Tap clases, that means you already have what it takes to bring that goal to life.
In this online program, I’m going to show you EXACTLY how to do that.
It starts with acknowledging the need for rigorous, specialized 360° plans for Pre-K Tap classes.

Your Rigorous, Specialized, 360° System of Excellence
MODULE 1:
Your Map Toward 20 Years of Tap Program Success Begins Here.
Imagine nurturing a thriving Tap program, filled with the next generation of inspired Tap students…right from their first steps in your Pre-K Tap class. That’s exactly what you’ll do with the Tiny Tap Club’s comprehensive 20-year growth strategy.
Here you’ll discover:
- What random online vids, threads, and cheap PDFs can’t tell you about Pre-K Tap success & retention
- The #1 key to comprehensive Pre-K Tap planning that nurtures your studio’s Tap program for the next 20 years
- 2 secrets to building unified standards of excellence at every age in your Tap program, ESPECIALLY in the pre-K classes
MODULE 2:
Imaginative Rhythm & Tempo Mastery Plans
Who wants to hear nonstop stomping and clanking? No matter how cute they are, “making noise with their cute little feet” has its limits. The foundation of Tap dance is creating RHYTHM and MUSIC…not “noise with feet”.
Honest truth: You won’t foster a years-long love for Tap in your pre-K students if you “just teach them dig-step & shu-ffle-step. Teaching a few Tap steps without rhythm is like trying to teach kids to swim in a kiddie pool. There’s zero depth for exploration or learning; just splash around and get out. That’s exactly what happens in pre-K Tap classes that “just teach a few steps”. The kids stomp around for a few years and then quit Tap. They move on to ballet, contemporary, or hip-hop, where they experience a depth of study.
To inspire years of Tap dance study, we must have teaching plans that infuse rhythm and tempo into their first pre-K Tap class.
In the Tiny Tap Club, you’ll get:
- The must-have rhythm and tempo standards for your tiniest Tap students
- Imaginative approaches to infusing rhythm and tempo practices into every exercise
- Easy ways to build brain-body connections through rhythm: helping pre-K kids excel in all dance styles, academics, and more!
MODULE 3:
The BEST Path for Foundational Tap Technique & Steps
Would anyone teach 4-year-old ballet students to sickle their feet? Wait to teach pliés until they’re 9? Call the ballet police.
Just like ballet, pre-K Tap fundamentals deserve careful attention.
Unfortunately, many intermediate/advanced tap teachers report “cringe-worthy” technique being taught to Pre-K Tap students. I’ve seen it too many times.
When the instruction is too casual - “Just give ‘em shu-ffle-step & have fun” - or when instructors (or their curriculum/plans) lack an understanding of advanced Tap dance, it creates big problems down the road.
We already know how muscle memory works. Bad habits formed early can frustrate and discourage Tap students as they advance.
This is a dagger for Tap program retention rates.
Consider this: Young children have fun when they master skills. Technical excellence and enjoyment go hand-in-hand, starting from the very first shuffle. Pre-K tap classes aren't just introductory – they're essential building blocks for years of successful training.
This is why the Tiny Tap Club (TTC) provides comprehensive training based on extensive experience at all levels, rather than quick online hacks, tips & tricks from questionable sources. Why? Because your students deserve the best.
In the TTC class exercises, you’ll discover:
- Which foundational Tap steps pre-K students truly need to master, and which can wait
- Sneaky/subtle technique mistakes that even savvy Tap teachers make with young students (HINT: they’re the same issues that frustrate/discourage students as they progress)
- Current, industry-standard tap technique specifically adapted for pre-K classes to ensure proper development
- How to put your tiniest Tap students on a path toward Tap dancing with speed, ease, and fun as they advance past your pre-K classes
MODULE 4: CHOREOGRAPHY THAT “WOWs”
That recital Tap routine is your “final product”.
It shows the families, and your dance community that you are establishing excellence, even in your youngest Tap students. Or…it’s just “cute”. It doesn’t make a strong impression because…it’s not impressive.
As families contemplate “Will little Kacey do Tap again next year?” they’ll think back to that Tap routine…or they’ve forgotten all about it and well, they forget about Tap.
The recital routine gives confirmation or cause-to-pause.
The family is wondering, “OK. Kacey is 6 now. I don’t see a lot happening in that Tap class. Should I switch that money over to more ballet lessons? Gymnastics? To some activity that’s cute, but is actually progressing?”
If your Tap routine is forgettable, you can forget about little Kacey’s enrollment in Tap when she turns 7.
In this make-or-break module, you’ll get
- Tips for Pre-K song selection
- Technique needed for Pre-K Tap choreography that WOWs
- Strategies for productive rehearsals
- At-home practice tricks that help kids show up confident
- Performance tips to tip that cuteness factor over the top
MODULE 5:
Spells & Superpowers for Tiny Taps
Engagement. Wonder. Imagination. Joy. Fun.
Can “rigorous” technique instruction in Pre-K classes still be fun?
Can it be engaging?
Answer? It better be!
The most overlooked insight I’ve seen in Tap teachers over the years is that they believe that the rigor of Tap dance instruction and engagement/fun exist on two separate tracks…and you gotta pick one or the other.
But the reality is: The successful pursuit of mastery brings fun! The learning and the fun are on the SAME track. And one without the other leaves too many young learners feeling “meh” about Tap.
Young kids aim for mastery of basic skills through repetition, imagination, and fun. In order to inspire years of Tap dance study in a young child, we’ve got to meet them in that space.
Whether you’re a serious Tap teacher who’s intimidated by little kids, or you’re a wiz with the Littles and need to bring more learning to the fun, the Tiny Tap Club has you covered with:
*Mindset strategies for the anxious teacher
*Classroom management spells & superpowers
*Imaginative approaches to keep them engaged and having fun
MODULE 6:
“Stage” or Disengaged Families?
Your Strong Leadership Starts NOW.
You’re dealing with Littles? You’re dealing with Mama. And Dad. And Grandma. And even Grandpa. In my Littles program, I talk to them ALL. Early and often.
Why? Because I have this opportunity to communicate the value of Tap dance, the value of MY training, and the value of investing in their child’s development.
The parents are eager to give their kids the best. Maybe something they didn’t have. They may be nervous and start to turn into “dance moms.”
Right now, at the Pre-K age, is where you establish yourself and your studio’s directors as the trusted, competent, confident leaders of your program.
This requires some planning and strategy.
Not only will you get tools for what to in the classroom and on the stage, I’ll give you the tools and strategies I’ve used AROUND and OUTSIDE my Tap classes to become a leader in our program’s dance community that brings families together for the sake of their precious children.
It isn’t just what you provide. It’s what you SAY about what you provide. The Tiny Tap Club will help you
*Communicate the value of the Tap Dance training your provide.
*Explain pedagogy in a way that instills trust & confidence in you as the expert
*Reinforces the family’s decision to enroll their child in YOUR pre-K program instead of Dolly Dinkle Dance studio down the road!

I always liked teaching the Littles, but now I feel even more excited to teach them fundamentals and know that they're really going home with something.

"an invaluable resource for education, for training, for growth."
Karida is one of the most wonderful Tap Dancers I know. Her vast education - from NYU, to professional training in NYC, to then going to working some of the top jobs in the field - makes Karida an invaluable resource for education, for training, for growth. I highly recommend her online training program. Karida brings professional knowledge from both training and practice in the field. She is the consummate professional and will take you to the next level.
OK, HOW MUCH IS MY INVESTMENT?
I know exactly what you're thinking right now: "How much is this going to cost me?" Most dance teachers get stuck on price, worried about another expense.
But what if I told you this isn't just another expense—it's a game-changing investment in your dance studio's future?
Just like you invest in quality dance flooring, this Pre-K Tap program is about investing in the foundation of your dance studio. Think about the last time you made a transformative decision for your business—when quality mattered more than the price tag.
The Tiny Tap Club may not be cheap, but it shows you exactly how to get the results you want. It’s not some $40-a-month membership or a $100 “jack-of-all-dance-styles, master of none” combo class curriculum.
This is a specialized program rooted in Tap Dance traditions and current industry standards—developed to give you lifetime access to excellence. I've poured years of expertise into creating a comprehensive program that will pay you back again and again, for your entire teaching career.
Let's put this into perspective. Dance certifications or College dance programs cost thousands of dollars without offering a fraction of the specialization needed for Pre-K Tap. Private consultations aren’t cheap either.
When you weigh all that against the investment in the Tiny Tap Club and what it will do for you, your teaching career, and the stability of your Tap program for years to come, it’s an easy choice.
With this strategic investment in your studio's future, you'll save time on planning, reduce student turnover, and set your students up for years of Tap dance success.
Imagine the professional growth, the stability, and the joy you'll create—all for less than the cost of a single weekend workshop.
And because I want to continue my commitment to keeping world-class Tap teacher development accessible to dance educators who truly understand the value of investing in professional development,
The Tiny Tap Club is priced at $597.
However, because you’re reading this during our special promotional period, I’ve decided to take $300 off for this Founders Launch, only for the first 20 dance teachers who enroll!

🔴 Choice #1: Keep doing what you're doing.
Continue with low tap enthusiasm, weak technique, and
poor tap retention in your pre-K dance classes.
🟢 Choice #2: You can take action. Transform your tap program, ignite young dancers' passion, and build a stronger, more joyful Tap dance experience.
If you choose nothing, then nothing changes. You'll continue struggling with disconnected Tap classes, watching your students' enthusiasm slowly fade. Your dancers will remain stuck with mediocre skills and limited progress.
But if you're ready to create a breakthrough in your tap program, then the choice is clear. Build a stronger bridge between your combo and standalone Tap classes. Spark more joy and love for Tap dance in young hearts and tiny tap feet.
If you're hesitating, thinking: "I'm not sure if I can make this work..."
Then ask yourself: Are you letting doubt hold back your dancers' potential?
The truth is, we know exceptional dance instruction doesn't happen by accident. It takes commitment, the right guidance, and a willingness to level up your teaching approach.
So don't wait—this opportunity is extremely limited. ⏳ Only 20 spots are available for this transformative program. 🔥 You CAN elevate your tap program. The only thing standing between your students and Tap dance excellence is the decision you make today.
