The 7-class price for one parent and one child is $203 and the 6-class price is $174. For additional siblings, the charge is $9/class more. (Note: this class is only offered in person – not on Zoom.) Check it out!
KOW COVID Policy
COVID-19 policy update: Beginning Saturday, April 29, 2023, we will no longer require vaccinations to participate in Knock On Wood classes and events, and masks will be optional but strongly encouraged, especially in large classes.
TAP DOC - Watch It Now!
Check out our Gallery page to watch the 10-minute Tap Doc created by Lauren Mitchell, featuring interviews with Baakari Wilder, Victoria Dillon, Gigi Buscaglio and Nick Young.
Inclement Weather Policy
Knock On Wood Tap Studio mostly follows DC Schools for weather closings. HOWEVER, it is always best to check here or on our Facebook page, and/or call the studio, as we will post same-day notices if the studio is closed.
Additionally, if the threat of weather might make it unsafe to travel, we will run classes online to the extent possible. If both teacher and students find it impossible to be online, a make-up session will be scheduled. Teachers will include specific class updates in their weekly emails to their students.
