In these 10 quick and easy tap lessons (with a bonus starter tip), you'll reach the same level as a Grade 1 Tap Dancer! And, contrary to popular opinion, you don't need to buy tap shoes to start. Just put on a pair of hard-soled, non-grip shoes OR practise in socks!
This course is not for the faint-hearted, though! You will develop muscles in places you never knew existed because tap dance is actually equivalent in terms of health and fitness benefits to SWIMMING. Yes, you heard me right! Get ready to get your core muscles in place and slim down your entire body as you try to hold your balance while creating those perfect-sounding beats on the dance floor.
Be prepared to learn the following:
Warm-up and basic rhythm and coordination routines (they're fun, I promise!)
Shuffles - everything you could ever imagine to do with them. Shuffle hops, springs, ball-changes, you name it, all shuffle basics are covered here.
Tap steps - as above, so here too. You're going to learn all basic tap step-related moves, such as tap springs, tap step heels, tap heel toes and MORE.
We top off the course with the grand finale... The single time step! This will become your main party piece at future events and I have no doubt you'll be whipping out this fancy-looking exercise whenever and wherever you can!
Happy tapping!
