  •   I've participated in many dance studios and Tap Fever is definitely the best. Individual attention during classes is the norm. The instructors are skilled in teaching how to memorize dance pieces. Level-appropriate basics are covered well in classes, and then augmented by challenge pieces, for fun. The instructors are all warm, friendly, and energetic.

    The studio has ample air flow from 3 sides along with several fans to enhance the flow for times when there are pandemic concerns. I used to have to wear knee braces all the time at a previous dance studio. I found I could stop after dancing for some time at Tap Fever. I'm pretty sure it's the floor flexibility that has made the difference for me. The studio is aesthetically lovely too.

  •   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.

  •   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 was looking for an adult rhythmic tap class in SD, which is very difficult to find anywhere, but I found the perfect place! I had not tap danced since I was a child but I found many of my classmates were in the same boat. I have improved immensely and it is fantastic fun.

    I like that the studio is also a nonprofit studio providing adaptive programs for people with special needs, scholarships, and discounts for students and military. Bottom line, if you want to dance, come! If you have something hindering you from dancing, talk to them. They will probably be able to figure out a way to make it happen!

    There IS a private parking lot and, if you are like me, that is very important!

  •   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!

  •   I love Tap Fever because it has so many options to choose from. I've seen Malorie, one of the dance instructors, teach tap and ballet with young children and I like how she's so enthusiastic, playing Frozen songs along the dance routines and motivating the kids. Every time I come in, there's a group of moms happy to watch their children dance. The studio has got programs for all ages - and I think it's great that they really emphasize that by having accessible classes for people with any kind of disabilities, too. They also got hip hop, jazz and ballet classes and even fitness-dance classes like Cardio Tap, yoga, and Zumba. I'd recommend contacting Larisa since she's really knowledgeable and welcoming. It's so much fun doing these dance classes to try something new.

  •   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!

  •   This is the best dance studio. Cardio Tap is my favorite form of working out, and Brittany is so great. Seriously the best workout instructor I've had anywhere. The moves might be difficult at times, but it's all about having fun and sweating.

  •   I am a "senior" tapper and have been tapping with Tap Fever studio for many years. The teachers are energetic and friendly. They are very aware of the level of the students in their classes and modify to meet the needs of each and every student. There are always options to reduce or increase the technique level. There are many options for classes both during the day and evening hours. I absolutely love Tap Fever Studio and Larisa the owner, has done a wonderful job in recruiting the best of the best. As their motto goes...anyone can dance and everyone should! Thank you Tap Fever!! Class is the best part of my day!!

  •   I recently moved to San Diego from Southern Oregon where dance lessons for seniors were very limited or non-existent. Tap Fever has been a dream come true for me. For the past year, I have been tap dancing with a cohort of people my age who are all very kind and caring and who all share a love for tap dancing. The instructor and owner (Larissa) strives to ensure that everyone has fun; but she also provides new challenges and opportunities for us to learn and grow as tap dancers. I am also inspired by her commitment to ensure that dancing is accessible for people of all ages and all levels of ability. It is a joy and a thrill to be at Tap Fever Studios. And, being in class is the best part of my week.

  • This is a family type studio; small classes where you feel comfortable asking questions, you get answers, and actually learn. This is a non-profit organization, so you can feel good knowing that Tap Fever Studios helps the community by offering programs for dancers with disabilities, and dance scholarships. Dancers also have the opportunity to advance and join dance teams that perform in the community, and go to dance competitions. The best part is that you can tell the teachers really love teaching dance and really love their students.

  • This studio is so accommodating to dancers with injuries! Also a very creative team of dance teachers. Cardio tap is a great way to ease back into working out- even for beginners!

  • I have been dancing with Tap Fever Studios for a month, and have only good things to say about them! I love that they offer classes in all dance styles: tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop AND fitness classes (cardio tap and dancer flow yoga). They are also all-inclusive, offering classes for everybody from 2 year olds, to seniors, to people with disabilities. The teachers at Tap Fever are very passionate about dancing, and just want to share that with everybody, regardless of age or ability. Speaking of the teachers, they are all fun, kind, and work hard to make the classes upbeat and engaging. I am taking the Adult Intermediate Tap class, and Larisa (the teacher and studio director) is very encouraging and pushes us to challenge ourselves in a fun and safe environment. Another class I have been taking that I love is the Cardio Tap class. These are offered multiple times per week, in both the daytime and evening, which is so great for those of us with busy schedules. If you are looking for a fun way to get some exercise, this is the class for you. It is structured like a Zumba class, with the teacher leading you through set dances to upbeat music. Though these classes definitely make me sweat, they are always filled with smiles, laughter, and a lot of great jamming out. Overall, Tap Fever is a well-run, supportive studio, and I would encourage anybody (regardless of previous dance experience) to take classes here.

  • I love love LOVE this studio! So big and spacious, and everyone there is so friendly! The owner is kind and helpful to everyone, JJ is so funny and easy going- I love taking his class, and Mariah is so skilled and lighthearted, the kids adore her! This is an amazing studio. They even offer a free week at the beginning of each session so you can try every class they offer and see which one(s) you want to take! I never thought I would be tap dancing, but the cardio tap class is a great workout and really fun! I'm also taking ballet with Mariah, and hip hop with JJ, and my son takes classes there too. I am so glad I found it!

  • My daughter has been taking classes from Tap Fever (Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap and Ballet) for almost a year and a half. Because of the wonderful instructors my daughter has fallen in love with Dance - THANK YOU! In that time my daughter has performed at recitals, competitions, senior homes and special events. At only her second competition she took First Place with a wonderful performance choreographed my Mariah (Instructor) and placed in her last three competitions. She has made great friends and the girls are so close you would think they are sisters. As a DANCE DAD I though I might feel awkward with all those Dance Moms here. But, that was not the story. Now, many of those Dance Moms are friends with both my wife and I. Thank you to all the staff at Tap Fever. You bring a smile from ear to ear on my daughters face.
