Glyn Gray "Travelling Syncopated Flaps" - Tap Online Dance Class/Choreography Tutorial

This exercise promotes a casual bounce in the knees to deliver clean flaps (tap steps) with flat foot syncopation, adding flavor to the rhythms, along with tap step coupe reels.

Notes
  • Your hips, knees and ankles always need to be breathing, so think space.
  • With flaps (tap steps) take care to make both sounds just as even as the other.
  • Good flat sounds by using your body weight.
  • When performing coupe heels be sure to slide the back foot in so the transition is smooth.
  • If all of the above has fallen into place start changing directions, play with accents, reverse and so on.
