FAQs
What do I need in order to participate?
All you need is a computer and internet access.
Will the classes be live?
All master tap classes, choreography courses, and elective classes are pre-recorded and you will have 24/7 access to them for the full 7 days. Only (some) evening events will take place live.
Will the teachers see me dance?
Although the faculty will not see you take class with them, we will provide a submission portal for students to send in short videos of what they have learned. We will release excerpts of some of these clips each day on our @latapfest Instagram account.
How many classes can I do in one day?
That is completely up to you! Depending on what package you register for, you will have access to those classes for the full 7 days. Take them all each day if you like!
