I'm so glad I found this. I have always wanted to tap dance as far back as I could remember. I never had enough confidence, but it was always in my wanting to learn and be good at it. I love to dance freely, and since I have been having trouble walking due to severe back pain and stenosis, there are issues of numbness and strength. I want to do this and learn to do this the best I possibly can. I will practice every single day, and hopefully, I can do something I've always wanted to achieve in something I dreamed of as a small child. I know I will try my best and I know it's going to be very difficult for me with the cards I've been dealt with. This is the most wonderful thing I can possibly acheive with your help. God Bless you and Thank you for sharing this with everyone and me who love to dance 💃 ❤️ 💕
Well that was the most detailed introduction I have seen! Very nice
We appreciate that! Thank you ☺️
This old brain really appreciates it
I think I can do this!! Yay!❤
Yeah you can! 🙌
I was wondering for heel drops do you use your calves or do you mostly use your knees? Thank you!
Hey hey! I think I understand your question (it depends on the meaning of the word 'use'), but I'd say the main muscle groups being worked are the quads and the calves 👍 You use the leg in its entirety, in some form or another! 😉 Hope this helps 🙌
Just started tapping.. Got my tap shoes Capezio. Very comfortable shoes. This has been a lifetime goal. Thank you for core steps and I want more!
Woo! Excited for you 💪🏻 Find more at taptopia.net ✨
@@taptopiaofficial I will look at the website!
Been a dancer since I was 4 years old, I'm 28 years old now & I just ordered a pair of tap shoes, pointe shoes, & lyrical toe pads. I'm super excited to get back into something that has been such a huge part of my life. I miss it so much.
Woo! Nice one - welcome back ☺✨
I wish there was a translation for Persian language on RUclips
So do we 😢
worst dance ever didnt have someone to dig my balls into
Resperodnics
I may not have tap shoes, but I can still try to replicate the movement! I just need to be careful to not become a professional upstairs neighbour and disturb the landlord, or well the grandma, downstairs ^^'
A 'tap challenge', of sorts 😉
6 minutes in, anyone else's legs shouting at them 😆 (in my defence I broke my ankle last year so am very out of condition but still... ow!!!)
Yes it can get a little ouchy! I still feel the burn during warm-ups. Always know the difference between the 'burn' and 'pain', and be sure to stop if ever it doesn't feel right 👍
🔥🔥❤️🔥
At midnight about to go to bed. I put on some Fred Astaire and realize... I need to learn tap dance. :)
Woo! 💪🏻
I love dance whether it is Tap,Jazz, or Ballet! I love riding my Harley too! 😊
Woo!
What a cute combination! I caught some of the steps that you are doing. Hopefully you can break it down for us one day! 😊
I'm learning tap dancing to get back at the downstairs neighbors. They started it with their random yodeling competitions.
That's the spirit 😅💪🏻
When i was around 10 yrs old....my school had a play and they had me tap dance. All the other kids in my class hated it and kept talking crap....me too. Until i actually started tapdancing....it...felt....good! Really good! Then the play was over and i stayed thinking about tap dancing and how cool it was for years! But it was not popular and i didnt feel motivated. Now im 37 yrs old and....im ordering a pair of tap dancing shoes. Cant wait! Thanks for the video!
Hooray! Excited for you 🚀
Do u need a woden floor to tap
Ideally, yes, but not strictly speaking! Make a start with whatever you've got to begin with. Find out more here: taptopia.net/resources/
I am just learning to tap dance
Woo! 🙌
Great video!! One of the best!
🥰🙏
I love this so much! I'm 53 and just bought some tap shoes. I took tap dance when I was a little kid but stopped a couple years in. It's always stayed with me though. I want to learn to tap again. I'm happy I found your channel. <3
Hooray! That's great to hear 😀💪🏻
thank you very much for this video, my local community is going to be putting on a show in a few months, and one of the biggest dance scenes will be mostly tap. feeling a little better after watching this, again, thanks
Great to hear! Thanks for taking the time to let us know 😀 Hope the show went well!
Great im a oap who after doing a lot of sport over the years not long stated ballroom and latin classes ive always been a big fan of Donald OConner Vera Allen Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly so always wanted to get at least the basics down As a musician i know how important the basic patterns and drills are thankyou
A pleasure! :)
Thank you, I’m trying to get Cathy Seldon in Singing in the Rain and I’m very dedicated. I’ve been practicing with your vids everyday, I’m new to tap so it’s a journey. I better get that role.
All the best! ✨
Brilliant! Thank you!
A pleasure! ✨
Could one modify normal shoes into tap shoes perchance?
It's certainly possible to do, but you'll likely need the help of a shoemaker who can adjust the sole of the shoes to be hard enough to screw tap plates into 👍
Shuffle hop step flap step!
Starting at 34!
Woo! 😀
I'm a student of hula (Hawaiian) dancing for almost 10 years (formally started that since March 2014) and ballroom dancing for more than 6 years (formally started in late November of 2017) with almost no experience with tap dancing other than watching others perform. This is so interesting and I'm going to discover how fast I can pick up all the tap dance basics self-paced at home (as a start) as soon as I buy my first pair of tap dance shoes. Thank you for your videos on RUclips. Much appreciated and Happy New Year!!! :)
Exciting! I hope you're enjoying diving into Tap Dance ✨
I have always wanted to learn tap dancing. Now, at the age of 55, i feel ready to take the plunge. You make it look so easy. Off to order a pair of tap shoes. In the words of Arnie, I'll be back! 💃
Ordered 😊
💪🏻
Thanks for the info.
You bet! ✨
I don't know how to do tap an I'm frustrated
It's like anything...one step at a time 💪🏻
I grew up watching shirley temple tsp danfe, danny Kaye and more. Love it and Irish dancing /clogging
Thank you!!!
A pleasure :)
Thank you. Great lesson
A pleasure! ☺
Thanks for the terrific video. I am 74 years old, but I have wanted to tap since I was a kid. With these two steps, by God, I'm going to start learning.
Woo! That's great to hear 😀 excited for you 🚀
Thank you for making this video! This really helped me for my audition tomorrow!
A pleasure! How'd the audition go?
I think really good the cast list comes out tomorrow! I'll keep you posted!@@taptopiaofficial
I got the part thank you!@@taptopiaofficial
learning to tap so i ca go to musical theatre school :p
Woo! ✨
I’ve always wanted to tap dance but I’m just so uncomfortable around people! I don’t want this to limit me anymore, I’m learning I don’t care!
Woo! Yeah you are! #yougotthis 🙌
Im learning tap for my highschool theater play. The part im auditioning for has tap numbers but even if i dont get it it would he really nice to learn!
Woo! Good for you 💪🏻 I definitely encourage you to keep learning, whether or not you get the part (...the NEXT Tap role you'll be ready for 😉)
Where do I buy those jeans? 😊
Haha, I don't think the store exists any more 🤷♂
I love this! I am a tap dancer myself and I’m very happy how you mentioned that there are other versions of these time steps, for example the single time step I know is: STOMP BRUSH HOP STEP FLAP STEP STOMP. And the double time step I know is: SHUFFLE HOP TOE STEP FLAP STEP SHUFFLE. The triple time step you showed however is the same as the one I know! Again, I love these videos!
Hooray! 😀
What do I do if I don’t have tap shoes Can I use boots instead?
Hey! Yes indeed - you don't need Tap shoes to begin with :) (we recommend using the hardest-soled shoes you have). Check out our resources page here with some ideas on shoes: taptopia.net/resources/ 🙌
@@taptopiaofficial alright, thanks!
I take lots of classes
What a great demonstration. I took tap classes many years ago as a young adult, my tap shoes are still in my cupboard (!) and I would really like to take classes again. Growing up in a small conservative town, there were dance teachers who taught tap, but in those days it wasn't the thing that boys did. 😢 It's a wonderful form of exercise and of course being able to tap dance is just the greatest! You have inspired me.🤩
Hi Brian! Thank you for your comment - thrilled to hear you appreciated the video and found it helpful. I hope you keep going! Wishing you all the best on the next phase of the adventure! 👞
Hey what brand is your taps my brother wants to exact ones
Hey there! The shoes I use in this video are the 'Jason Samuels Smith' model by Bloch. You can find the links to these shoes and other recommended options via our resources page here: howtotapdance.com/resources/ - Hope this helps!
Dang!!! 🤩👏
Your videos are just fantastic! I’m a musician, dancer, and teacher, but NOT a tap dancer…LOL. Your useful teaching methods, musical theory explanations, and movement descriptions are really helping this come together for me!
That's fantastic to hear - thanks so much for the comment! All the best for the journey 🥰
I can't do this at ALL although I'm a dancer, but at least I tried.
Good on you for trying 💪🏻
