Tappy Hour
Snow in the forecast? Wondering if you still have tap class? We follow Saint Paul Public Schools' lead with respect to cancelling classes. If schools are open and busses are running, your class will still take place.
If you’ve ever thought “I’ve always wanted to do that” or “I miss dancing,” you’ve come to the right place. Whether you have two left feet or blazing fast feet, we have a class for you!
At Keane Sense of Rhythm, students and professionals alike can share, grow, and explore rhythm and movement while having fun.
I was so impressed with my son's experience in the youth and teen program I signed up for their adult program! Wonderful teachers, fun classes. I love feeling part of this community.
