Secret Snowman Tap Lesson for ages 3-5

The Secret Snowman Tap Lesson Plan is a Conceptualized-Thematic Lesson Plan. The Lesson Plan serves as a foundational exploration of tap technique using the idea of an imaginary snowman who wants to dance! In this engaging lesson, young dancers will help the snowman get ready for a tap show, with exercises that foster a deeper understanding of both tap skills and musical concepts.

  • Percussion For The Show Using the tune of Frosty The Snowman, along with bell bracelets, the dancers will warm-up with movements such as toe drops, heel drops, marches & jumps. This exercise emphasizes the importance of hearing the downbeat , laying the groundwork for a successful tap journey.
  • Snowman Stage Lights & Costume Our snowman needs stage lights and a costume! In these exercises, the students will explore stationary tap steps like, point togethers , heel togethers and toe backs, as well as rocking heels, step touch, and more. These movements improve coordination, develop listening skills, and strengthen overall clarity in sounds.
  • Snowman Shuffle Like a dancing snowman, students will work on the elements of a proper shuffle step with a focus on shifting weight, and clear sounds, . This segment of the lesson will enhance their understanding of how to execute a clear shuffle while improving their static balance at the barre and in center.
  • Snowman Parade & Performance Game The final part of the lesson will use the fun of an obstacle course to practice locomotor tap movements, jumps from two feet and heel-toe walks . Then, the students can choose a card to create a very special snowman dance!
