SWING OUT WITH STYLE
Welcome
Welcome to the Vintage Tap and Swing website. Edinburgh-based dancer Cathy Harrison would like to invite you to join her for some fun classes and workshops in Lindy Hop, Charleston and much more. Cathy has been dancing forever, and has experience in tap, jazz and all the main swing dances. From beginner to advanced, you'll find something to suit you here. Enjoy!
What's On
Tap Dance
Tap classes are back! We've been so busy with Lindy Hop classes that we haven't been able to offer any tap classes as well. However, for a six–week block we'll be teaching some cool routines — the Tap Shim Sham, a Soft Shoe Routine and at least some of the One Man Dance. If you've done any tap before, this is right up your street. The routines will also be suitable for Lindy Hoppers who have some solo jazz experience. No need for tap shoes if you don't have any — any hard soled shoes will do.
