Taptopia's Next Big Thing 🚀

Hello friends,

So as I've been hinting about these last few days and weeks, the Taptopia team have been quietly working on something that we're excited to share with you today (you're the first to hear about it!) 🎉

But first a little back-story...

For the last 6 months, we've been working to refine our offering to give as much value as possible for the community of Tap dance students, teachers, performers and enthusiasts that we serve (including you!). Every day, we see the power of Tap dance; to build happiness, community and friendship; to help people find physical, emotional and artistic freedom, and ultimately to change lives. At Taptopia, it's our mission to make Tap available and accessible for people of all ages, all over the world (regardless of whether they have access to local Tap classes or a metropolitan hub), and to help bring people together in the joy of community.

Of course, Tap isn't for everyone, and for many it goes into the 'too hard basket'. But every day all across the world, more and more people are discovering Tap, and exploring exciting new depths within the art-form. For many (myself included), there's simply nothing that compares. And if you're reading right now, I'd say there's a good chance you might feel the same.

The team and I have recently been asking ourselves the question: how can we best package our offering to be most effective, valuable and impactful for our audience? And I think we've landed upon the answer...

Here we go!...

Introducing...(🥁)...

Taptopia's ALL-ACCESS PASS 🚀

What is the 'All-Access Pass'?

A membership offering that brings together our very best releases since we began as 'Just TAP' 7 years ago; a treasure trove of high-quality Tap learning content - our entire collection of video courses - and a supportive global community of friends, available anytime, anywhere in the world from one convenient, accessible online platform.

Included in the All-Access Pass:

Access to Taptopia’s entire course catalog (including the Just TAP series, recently remastered specially for this release)
Access to the Taptopia Community platform
Access to a minimum of 3 x new video classes per month (with me, our co-founder Tiarna or a carefully selected special guest teacher), one for each level: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced (delivered live via zoom or pre-recorded)
Access to Taptopia’s entire video class archive (including Zoom class replays and pre-recorded videos)
Access to Monthly community calls, hosted by me
First access to new course offerings
Weekly accountability prompts
Monthly challenges
Peer to peer messaging with other members
...and much more.

It's a beautiful thing ☺️

The 'All-Access Pass' will be open for registration from this Monday, June 26 (see below for timings), with a special launch price of ~~$99~~ $79USD per quarter. Members who join at this price will lock it in for life (the price will never go up).

We can't wait to share it with you.

The first 20 who sign-up will also receive a one-on-one call with me, to talk about your Tap journey, and chat about some practical hints and personalized next steps 💪🏻

AND, to celebrate the release of the All-Access Pass, we've also got a bunch of fun (and free!) online events scheduled across the coming week, including classes, info sessions and live-streamed talks. Here's the full schedule - mark them into your calendar!...
