"I can't believe I'm learning how to tap dance. And better than that, I FEEL like a tap dancer. That's the magic of Carrie's teaching. She makes everyone feel like they can do it. And then when she throws something complicated at you, you actually believe you can get it. And you do."
Lindsay, member of The Happy Tappers Club

- Is part of a 3-week set of classes
- In Week 1, we focus on new tap dance skills and a brand new choreographed dance routine
- In Week 2, we repeat the steps and choreography from Week 1 to improve muscle memory, confidence, and choreography-learning skills
- In Week 3, we learn Part 2 of the choreographed routine, which we then combine with Part 1 from Weeks 1 & 2 to create our longer dance combo
*Class participants can choose to have their video on or off; once class starts, all participants will be muted for audio quality.
"I LOVE doing the live classes! Especially since they started during the pandemic, it was a way to feel connected to the outside world. I love how every three weeks we get the "surprise" of a new song and new choreography. And I love, love, love the challenge of new choreography!"

Meet your teacher
Hi, I'm Carrie
Teaching dance is my passion! I especially love sharing tap dance with beginner-level adults.
Tap dancing is magical. It get's you moving, it challenges your brain, it brings joy, it forces you to be present in the moment, and it gives you time to do something just for yourself. In addition to all these wonderful benefits, many adults tell me "I've always dreamed of being a tap dancer." Having the opportunity to help someone make their tap dancing dreams come true is MY dream come true - that's why I created The Happy Tappers Club.
If you'd like a little tap dancing magic in your life, I hope you'll sign up to dance with me inside The Happy Tappers Club!
The Happy Tappers Club is for you if:
- You've always dreamed of learning to tap dance
- You tap danced as a kid, and you're ready to rekindle your love for it
- You want to learn tap dance in the comfort of your own home (or you don't have access to an in-person tap class)
- You want to move more, relieve stress, keep your brain healthy, practice being present in the moment, and/or do something you enjoy just for YOU
This isn't for you if:
- You're an advanced tap dancer. The classes inside the The Happy Tappers Club are designed for beginner-level adults
- You get bored with repetition or prefer a fast pace of learning. The lessons use a lot of repetition and slower pace in order to master the basics, build confidence, and help make learning choreography easier
- You don't like learning from a forward-facing teacher
- You're a Negative Nancy...it's called The Happy Tappers Club for a reason! 🤗

"As an adult, I had long given up the prospect of taking tap classes. There are no adult classes in my area and never considered being able to take them at home. The one benefit of the pandemic is that EVERYTHING is online, including tap! Cut to seven months later and I have cultivated a consistent practice with twice a week live classes and enough recorded videos to tap as much as I want to. I love it. The joy of being able to fulfill a life long dream (seriously!) has been tremendous."

"The Happy Tappers Club is very important to me! I am so thankful to have such a skilled dance teacher like Carrie that is willing to teach slowly to non-dancers and make us feel accomplished when we master a combination or step! It is so empowering!! I have also made some wonderful friendships!"
Helen F.
"The attention to detail for the Happy Tappers Club is superb. The class is always of exceptional quality but then the recordings also have additional step breakdowns and back view options. Plus each week she produces a step sheet to print at home. Saves making any notes! Carrie dances to a wide range of eclectic dance music, and her choreography always makes me smile. I feel Carrie really cares that her students get the maximum out of their class."
