The program is aimed at all levels and abilities, and the dances taught will vary in intensity.  TACH encourages students to only participate in dances that they feel are comfortable with and to consult their health professional if they have any prior injuries or concerns.

 

At the end of the program a concert will be arranged for family, friends and community to celebrate the dances learned. Students will be able to perform in multicultural festivals and celebrations as the opportunities arise.
