Autumn Beats 2026
6th - 8th November
Torquay, Devon

Escape to the English Riviera for a weekend of tap dancing, great company and seaside relaxation.
Join us from 6th–8th November 2026 at the TLH Victoria Hotel, Torquay for the very first Autumn Beats—a brand-new Tappers mini weekender featuring inspiring workshops, evening socials and a welcoming community atmosphere.

Why Autumn Beats?

Launching for the first time in 2026, Autumn Beats is an exciting new addition to the Tappers calendar. Designed as a smaller, more relaxed alternative to TapUK, it's the perfect opportunity to enjoy a weekend dedicated entirely to tap dancing.

​

Spend two nights on the beautiful English Riviera, take part in exciting workshops led by experienced instructors, enjoy evening social dancing, unwind in the hotel's spa facilities, and make memories with friends old and new.

​

Whether you're returning to Tappers or joining us for the first time, Autumn Beats promises a welcoming weekend filled with rhythm, laughter and plenty of dancing.

"I don’t do any other dancing, just tap and it’s this group that’s kept me going. Doesn’t matter how experienced you are, everyone’s welcome and we all have a great time together."

“I’ve been to a few Tappers events now and they never disappoint. Great organisation, great classes, and always such a warm welcome.”

“Every event I’ve been to has been so well thought out. There’s a great mix of classes and the instructors really know how to bring out the best in everyone”
