"A Message from Jovon:
"Hi, I'm Jovon Miller, and honestly, I am tired of people telling new dancers that they have to buy shoes to learn to tap. As a result, many don't even try. Because of this, I've designed a course that not only shows you that anybody can learn to tap dance, but also that you don't even need taps! Join me for a five-week adventure into the world of tap dance using shoes you probably already have, in "Anybody Can Tap℠ Soft Shoe!”
