I've taken the cardio tap dance and it is definitely an experience. It is a fun workout to mix up the standard cardio exercises. A judgement free zone, it is comfortable and fun, but the instructor moves very quickly and doesn't really explain any of the moves. However, no one cares that you are bad and you are definitely still getting your heart rate up. The hour long class flew by and the songs are top 40 hits everyone knows. I recommend this to just about anyone, but don't expect to learn proper tap skills.

  I am enrolled in a senior tap class and also take Cardio Tap. I have enjoyed all three teachers I have had. I love that Cardio Tap is drop in. Fees are reasonable and parking is available.

  I took the cardio tap class today! I haven't had tap shoes on in years but it was easy to follow and so fun! Vickie is a wonderful teacher!

  If I could, I'd give this studio 7 stars! The perfect studio for every body! I mean that: Every. Body. Larissa has created a welcoming studio that is about dance, fun, and fitness. I came to tap late in life, and every one of her instructors is kind and encouraging. That sets the tone for the class members being that way. It is always a fun time. Don't give it another thought - just go dance.

  Super nice instructors but not proper technique. Also the place is super tiny hopefully one day it gets larger. If you really want a great studio go to golden State Ballet Academy, they provide much more opportunities and better instruction.

  I took a cardio tap class at Tap Fever in Feb 2023 and was immediately hooked! Since then I have been going to as many classes as I can! It has completely changed my life for the better. I came for the workout but ended up finding SO much more than that- a welcoming community, supportive teachers, lifelong friends, and my passion for dance has been re-ignited.

Larisa plans so many fun events to showcase our hard work. There is something for everyone! "Vaudeville Fever" cabaret shows, three recitals each year, holiday parades, performances on stage at Disneyland, Fringe Festival/ Taptastic shows, community events, and so much more.
There is never any pressure to participate in the recitals. However, if we end up in a class together I might try to pressure you into it because a lot of people end up discovering how much fun it is to perform on stage!
All of the teachers have their unique styles and their classes are all so much fun. I always leave feeling inspired and energized!

The unlimited package is a great option if you want to try a variety of tap and other styles of dance classes. I take ballet, tap (technique, broadway, and cardio tap), and sometimes drop in for jazz. $600 for a 16-week session and I took about 150 classes- what a deal! They also allow people to pay for one class at a time, or packages of 4+ classes to use throughout the session. Also you can rent tap shoes for just $3! I did that for my first class and then immediately went home and ordered a pair of my own since I could feel in my bones that this was going to become a big part of my life again (after taking 20 years off from dance).

I could go on about how much I love Tap Fever. Being part of this community has truly changed my life and I am so thankful to Larisa, Diane, Chantal, Chelsea, Andrea, and Britt for keeping the classes fun, challenging, and inspiring! You can tell you all pour your hearts and souls into teaching dance! I highly recommend Tap Fever to anyone of any age and any abilities! Teachers are all more than willing to work with you and offer modifications that you might find helpful. No worries if you have never put tap shoes before. My dad came to a cardio tap class and it was his first time wearing tap shoes. He did a great job and was smiling the whole time! The routines are easy to follow and over time it is cool watching yourself improve and be able to do steps you couldn't do before.

Thank you Larisa and all the staff at Tap Fever!!!

  I started taking a seniors adult tap dance class with Larisa in June via Zoom and began coming in person to the studio the end of August. What a gas!!! The music to warmup rocks my very soul with Oldies but Goodies! Larisa's instruction is clear and caters to each dancer as needed; the combinations flow and the choreography is really fun! There is also focus on history and tradition of tap - we are currently learning the Honi-Atkins Soft Shoe! And the Shim Sham - the National Anthem of Tap Dance - shimmies on thanks to its emphasis by Tap Fever! Opportunities to perform (if you so desire) are about fun and spreading the joy of tap dance! I definitely have the Tap Fever! I have to say this fever is contagious - the connections with other tap dancers is just the best! Thanks Larisa - way to tap on Tap Fever!

  I bought a ReaderCity deal for four fitness classes at Tap Fever. I've been to the Thursday night Zumba class with Cara and tonight I took the Cardio Hip Hop class with JJ. The Zumba class was a lot of fun and they played good music. The Cardio Hip Hop class with JJ was awesome too. He's really cool and made me feel comfortable very quickly, even though I'm a terrible dancer and have zero rhythm. My only complaint is that I wish the Zumba class and Cardio Hip Hop class were offered on more than one night a week. Even if you have no dance experience, give these classes a try. They're fun and you'll work up a sweat.

  Our 5 year old daughter takes the tap/hip hop class. The class is very fun and accepting. The teacher is very friendly and takes the time to help anyone who doesn't understand. An autistic boy visited a class and she was very helpful and understanding. She also talked with us about possibly creating a dance for our wedding. There is a viewing area but it's not easy to watch them without awkwardly standing at the window. You can rent dance shoes but it's best to bring a pair of hip hop and tap shoes with you. They have a 10% off discount at a dance store in La Mesa, be sure to grab that before you buy anything.

  Very comfortable atmosphere and inspiring dance spirit! Andromeda is the best teacher ever! She was very professional and charming. The class was fun and 45 minutes went by very quickly. I had a great time and finally tried tap. Awesome workout! I recommend!
