Welcome to Warwick Tap
We are Warwick Tap, one of Britain’s longest-running, student-led dance societies!
Voted Best Society Under 100 Members at the 2019 SU Awards, we offer weekly tap dance classes and perform at a variety of shows, festivals, and inter-university competitions.
One of the biggest highlights of our year is Pizazz! – Warwick's largest dance showcase, organised by Warwick Tap. In 2024, Pizazz proudly won the SU award for Best Society Collaboration, bringing together hundreds of dancers across Warwick’s vibrant performance scene.
Throughout the year, we perform in showcases every term, compete at inter-university competitions with two dedicated tap teams, and host regular socials open to all members!
No matter your experience – whether you’ve never tapped before or you’ve danced for years – we are a fun, friendly, and inclusive society where everyone is welcome.
