Finding a Tap Class (UK)
The ATD website has a tap class finder for adult classes in your area. Other internet sites include Dance Teachers Online and DanceWeb (see links page).
Alternatively you could try just ringing every Dance School in your local Yellow Pages until you find one that has adult classes!
