Tap Lesson #1: Toes & Heels

In this first dance lesson you will learn how to Tap dance with the most fundamental parts of the Tap dance shoe – the toes and the heels. It’s exactly how it sounds, the toe is the front part of the foot and you would only tap with it when doing “toes”. The “heel” is the back part of foot and you’d press your heel onto the floor using only that part of the foot. These 2 basic tap steps are very important to get before moving to the other videos below.

Tap Lesson #2: Stamps & Stomps

Here is a great lesson showing the difference between the Stamp and Stomp steps. These two Tap moves are very popular and are present in many combinations. The stamp is where you pick up your foot and press it into the floor and then changing your weight immediately. The stomp however is when you press you foot into the floor but without changing the weight. These 2 basic tap dance steps are very similar but you must understand how they differ.

Tap Lesson #3: The ‘Brush’

In this last lesson you will learn the brush Tap dance step. This is a more difficult step that requires more technique so don’t worry if you don’t get it right away. You want to lift off your foot and swing it from the back to the front making one single touch with the toe part of the tap shoe. As shown in the video, you don’t want to sweep the floor in this move, but only make a single tapping point as you brush your foot. This move will help you develop better balance as you must really stay on one foot for a long period of time.

Extra Tap dancing Tips:

1. Buy Tap dance shoes – If you are serious about learning how to Tap dance you need to get the proper shoes. It will speed up your learning progress and give you the real feeling right away.

2. Master the Rhythm of your moves – Tap dancing is one of the most rhythmical styles of dance so you need to make sure you hone down the timing of every single move you are learning. Without timing, your technique won’t improve.

3. Find fluidity in your ankles – The key is to make dancing look fun and easy. Therefore, it is important that you don’t keep your ankles and knees locked up. You need to relax them and let them be free in order to tap dance.

4. Practice often – Tap dance steps require lots of balancing and coordination. It is not the type of dance style you can pick up in a few hours. Instead schedule regular practice to go over your moves if you want to be really good.

NOTES

This tap dance syllabus is designed to give you a rough idea of what level each of these steps can be taught at. Like any syllabus, it is flexible. Some classes move very quickly and others more slowly. Also, I doubt anyone will get to each step in every level. I know I certainly don't. I try to hit the important ones and the rest are optional if I get around to them.

The basis for the execution of the leaks

Chemisting is the main foundation for which the steps are considered to be tucked up by gender. Simply put, it is music played with the feet. Each time the celebrity of this dance only increases. It is compared with the Irish jig, because the tap-dancing rhythm is also of paramount importance there.
In order to start tap dancing, you need to buy special comfortable shoes for this. It should be in the form of shoes with metal heels. It is also important that the flooring is solid. This is necessary for a clearer sound of heels.
Tap dance shoes can be purchased at a specialty store or made to order at any shoe repair shop. It is important that the shoes fit well enough on the foot. Very tight shoes will rub the foot, causing discomfort, and also further lead to foot deformity. Too loose shoes can lead to injury.
For such a dance, it is better to choose a place to practice in advance. It is best to dance outdoors on a special platform. It is important that there are no foreign objects nearby. This will improve the quality of classes, because swings and turns require a lot of space. It is advisable to tap dance under the guidance of an experienced master who can teach correctly and point out shortcomings. You can also learn to tap dance on your own. You should not engage in tap dancing in a multi-storey building, because it will cause negativity among the neighbors. It is best to do this in a special sports club. Suitable for any hard surface floor. Linoleum or carpet should be avoided, such coatings interfere with sound.
After the theory is mastered, you can move on to practice. If the classes will be held at school, then for clarity, a lesson will be shown with step-by-step instructions on how to start tap dancing.

The secret of success

For a good mastering of the tap dance movements, you need to train every day for half an hour. Additional classes also do not interfere. You can simultaneously master some other dance, for additional physical training.

The basic elements of the dance

All the basic elements of the dance are formed with the heel, toe and swing. Legs can be crossed, legs are swung, the toe can alternate with the heel. U-turns and jumps also look skillfully, with which leg swings are made. Turns are performed with the help of a sock, which is placed on the heel. And all this is done at a fast pace. The main thing here is that the leg stance must be performed correctly and at a certain slope. Movement must be precise.
First you need to learn everything separately, each element. The main thing is the rhythmic step. Then there are 4 main movements. To execute the first brush element, you need to hit with your heel, putting your foot forward, and then put your foot back, hitting with your toe. Ball-change consists of performing a kick with one leg and subsequent kicks with the other leg. And so each leg alternates in turn. Flap is done by hitting the heel and toe of one foot, and then the other foot. Shuffle is an element that is executed when stepping forward. All these movements are worked out to automaticity, and then they are easily combined in a dance.

Tap-dancing rhythms

Every time a heel tap on the floor is done, and then a toe tap. And so there is an alternation between them. Learn sanchal at a slow pace and without music. Once the basics have been learned, you can turn on an easy tempo, and then a fast one.
Knowing the main movements, you can begin to combine them into a dance. Otherwise, you can improvise, showing imagination. After all, such a dance is, first of all, an art. Their elements are added to the basic methods, and a new dance is obtained. Now you can create your own individual dances, with the basics of tap dancing.
So, to learn how to tap dance you need:

• Enroll in a dance school.
• Buy video tap dance course.
• Find a tap dance choreographer.

It is not always necessary to choose one option for tap dancing. You can enroll in a dance school and buy a course of video lessons. Thus, you can learn to dance not only at one time, at school, but also at home, according to the course of video lessons.

Like many dances, tap dancing is performed to music. If you master the dance technique well, then you can perform tap dance without music. The rhythm that will be performed during the dance will be the melody of the tap dance itself.

Learning something new, correctly combining movements and improving skills, you can achieve a lot. You can watch video lessons on the Internet, both individually and the complexity of the compositions. It is important not only to remember, but also to be able to exactly repeat the new dance movements.

1. Buy tap shoes. If you are serious about learning to tap dance, you need to get the right footwear. It will speed up your learning progress and give you real feelings right away.

2. Master the rhythm of your movements. Tap dancing is one of the most rhythmic styles of dance, so you need to perfect the rhythm of each movement you learn. Without time, your technique will not improve.

3. Gain mobility in your ankles. The main thing is to make the dance fun and easy. Therefore, it is important that your ankles and knees are not blocked. You need to relax them and let them be free to tap dance.

4. Practice often - tap steps require a lot of balance and coordination. This is not a dance style that you can master in a few hours. Instead, schedule a regular practice to repeat your moves if you want to be really good.

Learn to dance at home

The health benefits of dancing are amazing. In addition to exercise, you will stimulate the learning areas of the brain that have been proven to make us happier and healthier.

Can I learn to dance at home?

I wish I had a nickel for the entire time I was asked this question. The answer is simple: yes! Now I'm not saying you'll ever win the Pan Pacific, or the Ohio Star Ball, or The Blackpool Dance Festival, the world's largest dance competition, but you can learn how to dance at a wedding, a cruise, or most any other type of dance party.

There are many different dance styles, so the first thing you need to do is choose the style you want to focus on. Check out our online dance lessons to see all the different styles we have lessons for.

Here are some of the main dance styles:
Ballroom and Latin
Salsa
Hip Hop
Ballet
Belly Dancing
Irish Step Dancing
Tap
Country Western
and up

9002 After you choose your style you need to start learning the most basic steps of this dance.

Don't worry about learning weapons, style or anything like that, YES...

That will be later! First you need to learn the most basic footwork patterns and know the timing of the dance. When you are learning to dance at home, the most important thing is to get up and copy what the instructor shows. Most of our lessons show the teacher from the back so you can pick it up quickly and easily.

Once you understand this, you will need to learn the correct technique to use so that you don't just walk but actually dance. Then you will need to learn how to lead and follow your partner. Finally, you can focus on styling.

Additional tips for learning to dance at home:

1. Get up and try dancing. Don't sit there all the time and look. Actually get up and try the moves wherever you are. You don't need a lot of space.

2. You don't need a partner. If you are learning to dance with a partner, you might think that you need a partner to learn how to dance, but that is so far from the truth. You should be able to do everything on your own.

3. Watch the video more than once. Most people cannot remember everything they learned from an online video lesson. But the best part about learning to dance from home is that you can go back and watch this video as many times as you want.

4. Learn the steps and techniques in the correct order - don't skip to the middle or end of the video if you haven't mastered the first steps. Watch the video in the order in which it was made so you don't miss any information.

So, start learning to dance at home!

What our students say:

In my city, tap dancing classes for beginner adults are rare. Fortunately, I searched the Internet and found your site. After reviewing some sample touch step instructions and discovering how easy, affordable and convenient it can be to teach these steps at my home, I purchased the entire download. I ordered a pair of clogs, bought a piece of 4×4 plywood from my local hardware store, and voila! Now I'm learning to tap at my speed and comfort. It's fun, a great alternative approach/complement to training, and the sound of the wood hitting (even if you're a beginner) is impressive - it makes me feel excited and accomplished!
Jean from USA

The lessons were great! It was really fun, great exercises and I will definitely be learning from you. Thank you for posting them online! Have a good day!
Author: Katherine from USA

I am very pleased with your course and your teaching methods. I have never tapped or learned to dance in this regard before. Dancing has always been my passion and I have always wanted to learn something. I'm currently on my sixth lesson in the beginner series and I'm making a video of the Tap workout. I love it and am looking forward to the release of the interim series when it is available.
Posted by Janine from USA

I appreciate your learning style, it's easy to understand, easy to understand and fun! I've been knocking for 2 years now. I started taking minting classes at our local college here in Sacramento, California. My goal here in early middle age and beyond is to look for festivals to attend (I'm an airline employee willing to travel) and join a band to perform and enjoy!
Regards,
Posted by Karen Witherspoon from USA

I bought your course and dictionary and I really like them. It's a great idea because it's concise, to the point, and very well organized. If I want to see a step, I can jump right into it, and as a teacher, I appreciate your step-by-step teaching method. Everything worked great, loaded easily, and worked fine. Thank you for your products and good luck in the future.
