This combination uses a good vocabulary of steps and rhythms for the beginning level tap dancer. In a more traditional or 'broadway' style, it incorporates arms, weight change, and musicality into a fun routine. You might wanna visit the shoe shine before you get started.
Notes
- When learning this combination, think of the arc of the music as a whole. The choreography follows the structure; verse, verse, bridge, verse (with ending).
- Keep a strong frame with your arms, but keep it loose and relaxed. We tap dancers never want to look rigid, think loose as a goose.
- Really focus on where your weight is and when you shift it on the 'step heel heels' in the bridge. Also take note of which heel you drop first and when.
- Going into the final verse and the end, make sure to stay connected to the floor to help with the change of direction and the 'step toe hop' turns.
- Don't forget about your face! We are DANCING here!
