Dance Class Plans – Grade 4 Tap, Bundle 1 (Months 1–5) by Darryl Retter
Bring precision, artistry, and challenge to your tap classes with this complete five-month curriculum. Grade 4 Tap Dance Class Plans – Bundle 1 (Months 1–5) by Darryl Retter is based on Al Gilbert’s Grade 4 Tap Technique—the point where dancers step confidently into the intermediate level of tap training.
Perfect for intermediate students ages 12–14, this bundle provides structured, ready-to-teach lessons that save time and keep classes focused and consistent. Each month features Center, Across the Floor, and Dance Combination sections with video demonstrations, teacher notes, and training insights to help you refine your dancers’ clarity, rhythm, and control.
Once your dancers complete Bundle 1, they’re ready to progress to Bundle 2 (Months 6–10) and continue advancing through the intermediate tap syllabus with confidence.
