  TAPATAK OZ IS THE TAP SYLLABUS
    INSPIRING A NEW GENERATION!

My Mission

Our mission is to foster a passion for tap within the dance community. To allow students to develop their own unique style and tapping voice by giving them the technical fundamentals to enable them to do so confidently!

To give teachers a fun and technically challenging format. And to provide a syllabus that encourages individuality and creativity. We want to put the fun back into Tap whilst engaging the students and giving them a firm understanding of rhythm and its possibilities!

My Story

Like many dance teachers, I grew up with dancing - in fact my mother had a very successful dance school for over 40 years. Completing my tertiary dance education in the UK, I returned to Australia and began teaching. What started out as a few hours a week quickly grew into a full time occupation and saw me teaching hundreds of students each week all over Sydney at many of the country’s leading performing arts institutes and dance schools. 20 years on I wanted to collate and document what I had learnt and taught during this time. The result is TAPATAK OZ!!

My Products

The Tapatak Oz System gives you 20 years of experience at your fingertips. "Step by step" dvd instruction and "count by count" manuals for class leave nothing to chance. Add to that a fantastic array of original music cds covering genres from swing and ragtime, to funk and rock, and you have a comprehensive system that inspires and delivers.

Thank you Capezio for a quality shoe that lasts forever and gives a great sound with a wide range of dynamics. I never leave home without my K360s"

"Christine Denny (Creator of Tapatak Oz) certainly knows everything about rhythm and communicating through your feet. She has an incredible knowledge of tap and tap techniques. Any instructional video by Christine is definitely going to thoroughly educate the dancer and arm them with the knowledge necessary to pursue a career as a professional tap dancer."
