Tad-Poles
Teaching kids to “walk tall” through stilt walking and dancing from West African and Carribbean traditions.
About Tad-Poles
Tad-Poles gives students (ages 10 to adult) the opportunity to “Walk Tall” as they dance, do acrobatics, and entertain audiences on stilts. Join our no-pressure workshops to discover the joy of reaching new heights and connecting with cultures around the world whose traditions include stilt dance.

Classes
Summer Saturday stilt classes, held at Amphibian Stage Productions, are from July 13 to August 10. Class time is 12 to 2 pm. The tuition is $25 for the session.
The Fall classes begin September 14 and run through December 14. There will be no class Saturday, November 23 and 30 for Thanksgiving break. Tuition is $75 for the first student and $50 for the second in the same household. A limited number of need-based full and half scholarships are available.
Beginners are encouraged to join class and watch their confidence grow week by week! You will work toward choreography appropriate to your skill level. Advanced stilt-walkers will continue to develop balance and coordination while working toward more advanced choreography.
