Get the physical and mental benefits of tap dance in a safe, seated environment.
Chair Tap Dance for Seniors is specifically designed for older adults to not only learn basic tap steps and dances, but to also exercise the mind and body while having a lot of fun!
         Why Chair Tap Dance?
Many older adults know they need to exercise and may have loved to dance in the past or wanted to learn, but now may have physical limitations or fear of falling.
I’ve been a dance instructor for over 30 years, but mostly for children and teenagers. A couple of years ago, my husband, who is a physician, mentioned studies that were coming out about how beneficial dance is for older adults. Turns out, it’s not only a great physical workout, but it’s one of the best cognitive exercises out there. So, I approached senior living communities in my area about teaching tap dance, but what I found is that they all wanted chair classes.
I started teaching Chair Tap lessons in my area and it has been very successful. My students not only love learning tap dance, but also tell me they feel physically stronger, especially in their legs and core. Even though we are sitting, they say that when walking, they feel more steady on their feet and have improved balance. This is likely due to building core strength. Students have also reported that they are experiencing mental benefits such as quicker reaction time and improved memory recall.Â
For these reasons and more, I want to reach as many people as possible, so I have created an online course. Through this course, seniors will have access to tap dance lessons that will help them cognitively and physically, as well as bring them joy.
Introducing...Chair Tap Dance for Seniors
Â
Chair Tap Dance for Seniors is specifically designed for older adults to not only learn basic tap steps and dances, but to also exercise the mind and body while having a lot of fun!
The Chair Tap Journey:
Â
MODULE 1:Â Benefits and Info
You will learn about the cognitive, physical, and mental benefits of learning tap for seniors with some recent studies to back up those claims. Â
Â
You will discover different options for tap shoes or tap shoe covers, as well as a portable tap floor for those who are worried about tapping on the floor in their home.
Â
Â
MODULE 2:Â Warmups
This will include 5 songs between 2 and 4 minutes long to lightly stretch head to toe and get moving and warmed up. This will raise your heart rate and increase blood flow to the muscles, which delivers oxygen and nutrients needed for energy production. This will help you maintain cardiovascular health and endurance during exercise. Warming up also gradually increases muscle temperature, which improves muscle elasticity and contraction efficiency. This can lead to better performance during exercise and reduced fatigue.
Â
Â
MODULE 3:Â Your Tap Steps and Dances
In this module, you will learn 22 tap steps, 3 or 4 at a time, and then you will learn a dance using the steps taught in that lesson. By the end of this module, you will have mastered the basic tap dance steps with music and be able to apply this knowledge to any music or song of your choice!
MODULE 4:Â Tap Step Library
In alphabetical order, video explanation of all the tap steps we learn in the modules for easy reference. This is a quick way for you to look up or review steps without needing to go through the lessons to find them. This is also a fun way for you to exercise your brain and body at the same time, while increasing your tap dance knowledge!
But that's not all!Â
Chair Tap Dance for Seniors comes with these bonuses to get more benefits, and have even more fun!
Bonus #1:Â Holiday Dances: Â
These are dances that can be performed in senior communities for an audience, for your family members, or just for holiday fun! In these dances, you will apply steps you learned earlier in the course, and I will review them before each dance as well. I am available by Zoom or email to provide help to you and/or caregivers to put together a performance. (I do this in my local community.)
Bonus #2:Â Â Cardio-inspired Tap Workout dances: Â
These are simple, but effective, dances to get the heart pumping and get in a quick cardio workout. Cardiovascular exercise offers a wide range of benefits for seniors including improved heart health, weight management, increased stamina, joint health, mood enhancement, and cognitive benefits. Â In addition, cardio exercise stimulates the release of endorphins, which are neurotransmitters in the brain that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Â Â Incorporating regular cardio activities into your routine can contribute to a healthier and more fulfilling life.

I have always wanted to tap dance but never learned, and I thought I was too old. But Dottie explains things so well and is very encouraging and makes it so much fun. I do feel like it’s the perfect way to exercise my brain and my body at the same time. And I’m not too old because I am learning so much!

MY NO-RISK GUARANTEE:
Â
I’m so excited to get started on your tap dancing journey with you, but I know you might be nervous about whether this is the right program for you or if you will do it. I understand–I really do! Â
Â
I honestly had no idea when I went in to teach my first Chair Tap class a couple of years ago how it would go. I had read the studies and findings about how beneficial dance is for older adults, and I knew how much adults love my regular classes, but I didn’t know if this would transfer over to chair classes. But I wanted to give it a try, and it has been so rewarding!. I dare say I might enjoy teaching my Chair Tappers even more than my regular classes because of the joy I can see it brings them. Not only that, they share with me the the benefits they feel even in other areas of their life since starting my class.Â
Â
BUT, I want you to be completely satisfied, so I am offering a 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. Try it out, learn some steps, practice some dances, check it all out, and if you don’t feel that it’s right for you, I’ll give you a full, hassle-free refund. This is my promise to you–complete satisfaction or your money back. Take the leap and join me as we “TAP” into your future risk-free!
