Merced Tap and Ballet is a Merced dance program offering combined tap and ballet classes for all ages in partnership with the City of Merced Parks and Recreation Department. Led by instructor Cinnamon Langs, the program follows a curriculum originally designed by Betty Gentry in 1975 and centers on foundational tap, ballet, and movement instruction in a fun, active class setting. Classes are held on Mondays from October through April and include an Open House performance in January.
