There are two general options that you choose from, and the scheduling is separate so you can also combine and do both.

Most students do a combination, picking a package + adding single master classes/workshops.

• 4-day Main Schedule package - a fixed schedule April 3^rd - 6^th 
• Single Master Classes & Workshops - spread out April 1^st - 7^th

STF also offers free classes for kids & youth! Children are also welcome to register for anything else at the festival. We don't have any age restrictions, but usually almost all participants are adults.

Main Schedule packages, April 3^rd - 6^th 

The main schedule is a 4-day fixed set of classes. You register for the level/group of your choice and follow that schedule. All evenings except Opening Show April 1^st and Faculty Gala April 5^th are included.

Each package includes:

• Beginner group: 7 main classes - 4 morning theme classes - warm-ups - evenings April 2^nd-4^th, 6^th
• All other groups: 10 main classes - 4 morning theme classes - warm-ups - evenings April 2^nd-4^th, 6^th

Besides all the regular groups, we also offer two residencies:

• MUSICALITY RESIDENCY with live music - Levels 5 & 6

Instead of learning steps or work on tap technique, this residency gives you a unique experience digging into the musical aspects of the dance. All classes are with live music, and you will get to work on and develop your tap dancing as a music instrument, under the guidance of four well-experienced experts.

Lead by Derick Grant and Lisa La Touche, and with Gunnar Åkerhielm on piano and Mats Dimming on bass.

Note - The recommended levels are to ensure that students already have an understanding of musical concepts, and are used to work in a more professional setting. If you have a lot of prior music practise, like maybe you play another instrument, it can be fine to join the residency also with a somewhat lesser experience in tap dance.

• BODY PERCUSSION RESIDENCY - All levels

BP is an art of embodying rhythm - an ancient, cross-cultural practice that resets the nervous system, sharpens awareness, and connects us through shared sound. Using claps, stomps, voice, and the full body, you will explore natural tonality, build layered grooves, and tap into the fire-circle roots of communal rhythm.

Lead by Max Pollak - Nicholas Young - Claudia Rahardjanoto

Note - All levels of experience are encouraged to participate. The teachers handle various skill levels simultaneously and will give everyone the appropriate challenge.

Note - Wear indoor shoes with a solid/hard sole. No tap shoes, no soft, split soled shoes, no cushiony sneakers.

Some groups have the same level, and are named by color. The level of these two groups is exactly the same.

Please read the level descriptions before selecting group.

MORNING THEME CLASSES  - included in all Main Schedule packages

We offer many many morning theme classes, and if you have registered for a package you can pick one class each day. Sign up is done by filling out an online form we will send out a couple of weeks before the festival starts.

Detailed theme class schedule coming soon.

single Master Classes & Workshops, April 1^st - 7^th

The master classes and workshops are not part of any package. You pick and register for each one as you want.

Please read the level descriptions before selecting classes.

Free kids & youth classes, April 3^rd - 6^th

We are excited to again offer classes for kids and teenagers, and the classes are FREE OF CHARGE! This program is presented in collaboration with Svenska Rytmsektionen, a non-profit association for the advancement of tap in Sweden.

Classes are taught by international festival participants and held in English, and each sessions is separate so you can choose to do just one day or all four days. All classes are at the festival venue Kulturama, where our staff in the STF Reception will guide you further.

The classes are usually attended by children who haven't tap danced before. If your child has previous experience we suggest they do a Main Schedule package and/or single Master Classes & Workhops. There is no age limit on those classes and it's totally fine for youth to participate, as long as your child is ok to be in an adult group.
