How Tap On Location Works:

1. Sign Up for the City of Your Choice

Click the Sign Me Up! button, select the event you'd like to join and choose your package.

2. Learn Choreo & Collaborate

Before the event starts, learn the choreo & join a few group video calls to collaborate and get to know the other dancers.

3. Travel to Your Selected City

Over 4 days, you'll learn, rehearse, film, explore the city, make friends and see the finished tap video together.

Tammi B. says:

“Working with Mrs. Meghan on video shoots has been PHENOMENAL! Neither of us knew what to expect with the first video shoot. Any expectations we had were surpassed. This sentiment extends from the thorough planning (e.g. email updates, posting of choreography, great shoot locations) through the final, professional product. We have shown these videos to many of our friends, and they are amazed that the choreography was learned virtually, and the final product is top-notch.”

What's New This Year?

New Guest Artist Classes:
Work With More Tap Pros

In each city, you'll work with a bonus professional tap dancer. Learn new techniques, styles, and insights from each expert.

These sessions are a unique opportunity to expand your skills, get inspired, and experience new approaches to tap that you can bring into your own dancing.

New Bonus Video Shoot:
Dance with Meghan

Dance with a small group of dancers and Meghan in this extra tap video shoot. This will be a shorter, more energetic shoot where you’ll get to be in pretty much every shot! You’ll receive additional choreography & have an online rehearsal with Meghan before the event.

A Note from Meghan:
Why Tap on Location?

I started tap dancing at just five years old. That makes it 30+ years for me now!

Like most of you, I danced in all styles, trained hard with my studio, and eventually learned how to succeed at competitions and  conventions.

However, when I moved to Los Angeles straight out of high school, I learned that life on the competition stage didn’t prepare me for the professional dance world as much as I’d hoped.

I created Tap on Location to give young dancers a taste of the what the professional experience holds and to help you confidently transition into a successful career—no matter what path you choose.
