Encore October 14, 19

Here is a tutorial of the 7 count riff

Here is the video of all we learned. This is one option for our  complete number 

CLC Tap III October 8th

We spent time reviewing our time steps, maxi fords--adding flaps and pickups. We added a little to our choreography as well.

CLC Tap II October 8th

We worked on our Waterloo number.
The time step combination is really the trickiest part.
Here is a slower breakdown of just that combination: Time Step Time Step Shuffle Ball CHange Shuffle Ball Change

We also finished the Chorus. Here it is with music through the chorus.

CLC Tap I October 8th

We worked on getting good sound from our FLAPS and SHUFFLES. Both should have two distinct sounds. No scraping! :) Also working to keep the heels out of the action.

We will build on this combo.

Welcome to Super Tappy

I have been teaching tap dancing at San Juan College for four years, mostly non-credit classes. I find that many of my students have difficulty getting all the practice they would like in the one to two hours a week I have with them. This blog is meant to be a resource for their practice.
