What Others Are Saying About the

"Tap Teachers' Lounge" Online Training Program...

I've taught tap for a long time, but I was never formally taught how to teach, beyond what I had absorbed from my own teachers. Karida's class has been phenomenal. She is warm, helpful, and caring, which makes it fun. But even more, she has such a defined and rigorous approach to improving musicality in students.

I already had many students who have a good ear, and I've always been pleased with how they progress, but I've always struggled on how to methodically improve rhythmic performance in the dancers for whom that's more of a struggle.

I finally feel like I have an intentional approach, and feel like my own skills have improved so much already. I recommend her class wholeheartedly!!

-- Jessica S.

My students improved so much and are so interested, accountable and conscious.

Definitely gives you tools to create independent, smart dancers, and improve your class on a group level.

Also gives you much more confidence as a teacher, and a lot of tools for correcting and problem-solving. Plus you can always re-visit the material! 

-- Adela A.

If you are a tap teacher, this program is an absolute must!

I have been teaching for 30 years and a studio owner for 20.

Karida has inspired and rejuvenated my entire tap program. 

If you are a new teacher or a seasoned pro, you will benefit from her innovative approach to teaching all levels. Her personal attention and live support are what set her apart from other instructional programs. It is worth every penny and every minute spent. 

I will definitely be signing up the other teachers at my studio. I consider it an investment in the future of my tap program.

-- Molly K.

Karida brings professional knowledge from both training and practice in the field. Her vast education - from NYU, to professional training in NYC, to then going to working some of the top jobs in the field - makes her an invaluable resource for education, for training, for growth.

I highly recommend her online training program.

Anyone who gets the opportunity to learn from Karida will soar and reach their ultimate potential.

She is the consummate professional and will take you to the next level.
