ADAPT Tap Examination Program
ADAPT stands for "Associated Dance Arts for Professional Teachers" It is a certified dance teaching syllabus offering yearly examinations in Jazz, Tap and ballet Dance and is taught in over 150 Canadian Dance Studios coast to coast as well as reputable dance schools in Asia.
Taught by Jacqui Roberts, students will learn essential tap techniques and rhythms to develop musicality and a sense of style. Tap is one of the very first dance forms to be created and is very important for students interested in a career in Musical Theatre. The ADAPT Tap syllabus teaches timeless and traditional steps combined with modern styles and is a fun way of blending dance with sound.
ADAPT Tap Exams are offered annually. This examination program is by 'invitation only' with the intention of developing strong, disciplined, and confident dancers, with the highest of technical standards. It is highly recommended for students considering dance as a vocation and will assist in preparing them to enter the world of dance today from both a technical & performance aspect.
Ultimately the students will be working towards an examination for which they will receive a mark, feedback, and a certificate from A.D.A.P.T.’s examining body. Participation in exams give the students a clear standard to strive for and assists in developing many qualities that are useful both within and outside of the dance world such as goal setting, discipline, focus, confidence, posture, and a strong work ethic to name a few.
Students are individually selected for the program on the basis of their level of experience in Tap and Jazz. Selected students must train in Jazz alongside their ADAPT Tap classes to keep up with the technical demands of the syllabus.
