this vid helped out so much!! I want to get my boyfriend a pair for Christmas and wanted to do my research early. He would tell me stories about how as a kid he wanted to learn tap because of singing in the rain. He wasn't able to and tells me that he keeps thinking about taking classes now as an adult. I know that feeling of wanting to please your inner child by getting something you wanted as a kid. I actually met him while achieving a childhood dream.

I always wanted to learn to tap dance. This I can do.

Great video!

love your tutorials been quite awhile since I tapped...so out of shape!

checking with a Thrift store is such a good idea. i found a perfect pair of Leo's for only $10 at Goodwill in my city! love them!

I Bought Mu Niece A Pair Of Tap Shoes For Her 8th Birthday 🎂! She Is Already Learning Amazing Things! She Is Going To Be Posting Videos Soon Herself! 😂 THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing your dance expertise. Cost of lessons can be prohibitive. I love how You Tube allows us to access portals of knowledge.

What is the music used please? I'll also.look again through the comments and credits for the citation. Best to All.

I’ve been tapping for 7 years now, and now I’m giving lessons! This video helped a lot bc I didn’t know how to really describe how to do these things lol 😭

Hello Rusty Van kat wyk it’s nice to meet you do my name is Nick David Hagen I’m your second cousin do you live in Utah I live in California

Ty so much for posting your instruction online. Since I was a young girl in the 80s, I wanted to learn tap. I just love the sound, and your feet are your instruments. I grew up watching old Broadway musicals and loved watching Betty Grable and Ann Miller dance. I decided that it's time to try and fulfill my childhood dream while I still can (better late than never).😄 I built a tap floor, which will be finished shortly. I just need to put my own design on it and varnish it. I'm really looking forward to trying this.

SO FUN!! THANK YOU! THIS IS MY FIRST DAY TAP DANCING & THIS WAS FUN!

just starting to learn tap dance and this video was perfect! thanks a lot

Your videos are amazing and super helpful, thank you!

I love "An American in Paris" and was so disappointed to learn that it was not filmed IN Paris, LOL! Here's a question -- who is the Black dancer that Gene Kelly interacts with at the fountain in the big dance number?

Love your shoes!

Your demonstrations are wonderful! What would really helpful too is if you could demonstrate the transition from one section to the next. I have trouble shifting to the tack Annie, and into the leap. My balance always seems to be in the wrong place and the count on the leap always 1 beat behind. Thank you for doing these demos!

This is so adorable! That syncopated break was hard for me to get. I have to practice it over and over! So much fun! I love the way you break down the combination! Thank you! 😊🎶

I have chronic pain, degenerative discs, and I was so incredibly depressed. I always wanted to learn tap, but my parents forced me into ballet instead. I loved and longed for tap, decades after deciding I had no talent for dancing... I have two overactive boys: ages 8 & 5. They need more opportunities to burn their energy at home, and they need more active time with me... so I have put my apprehensions to rest and have begun learning to tap with them by my side with your wonderful videos. I struggle with my back, but it seems to truly be gaining muscle mass which is helping tremendously - and to an extent decades of physio failed to achieve! My boys are beyond delighted and delightful to have this special passion to share with me. Nothing brings me more joy than listening to the tip-tapping and giggling away... when they ask me to join them and my pain seems to almost vanish as the excitement and happiness I feel overwhelms everything else. I always felt my heart race and the most incredible flood of euphoria when I watched (or even heard) tap. It took me until my 30's to realise that just because I didn't get to learn in my childhood, doesn't mean I can't learn in my adulthood. I now embrace wholeheartedly the saying that "the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago; the second best time is now". Thank you, sincerely and from the bottom of my heart, for making my present so beautiful and my future so bright. I would have given up long before had it not been for finding your videos - which I could a) afford, b) follow, and c) not find mind-boggling annoying!!! :D

I started tap dance classes about 9 months ago, at the age of 52. I saw your video when I first started, it all seemed way too hard. The classes I do (for seniors) do performances for aged care homes etc, so I have been focused on those routines. But finally had time to focus on this, and have mastered the Shim Sham Shimmy. Now I have to teach others in my class 😅

Really enjoyed the video. Thank you; I would definitely be happy to share

Want to learn Irish tap dance

Love the song, anything by Charlie. I'm going to try this tapping to it.

LOL but I wish I were younger.. Well done

Perfect way to introduce tap and to teach it! I love that you went at a steady learning pace and explained every step. It made putting it together easier and connected all the dots from what you previously taught. Great video, great lesson, excellent teacher!

How does one “ball heel” without bouncing the entire body?

I liked your tap dancing lessons and would like them to be taught to popular funky songs that have a good beat even though it looks like you stopped teaching online 5 years ago. Thanks from Sydney, Australia 😊

I'm new to tap at the young age of 64. Watching you while cycling right now. Can't wait to get my shoes on and learn this routine! Fab! 😊

Fantastico

❤

I love your videos too. You should keep making them!!!

Great job, it helped me👌

Merci

Just to let you know you are one of the best beginner TAP DANCE INSTRUCTOR.

Kindly face back so we could see it better 😮not facing front.It’s easier to learn if you turn your back against us😮Also so we could see how you drop your shoes.We are 60+ something + 75sh who is learning ballet for the first time

De unde ești?

Magnific

Thank you

C’est trop bien ! J’adore ! Merci 🙏

Boy, your great! that's real beginner stuff

Thank you so much for all you lessons.

THANK YOU. I just got new tap shoes and they are my first pair of non split sole shoes and I didn’t realize how stiff they would be 😭😭

It was good till the 6:50 mark when you faced us instead of having your back to us.

I am a senior (70), not a "dancer" but have always loved tap. I want to start up a senior class at the dance studio, what kind of shoes should I get? a couple of us have slightly swollen ankles from type 2 diabetes?

I’m 66 years old just bought my tap shoes and love your tutorial…I danced in George M Cohan 40 years ago but had never taken lessons…we learned at our rehearsals…so I want to learn the proper way and improve my balance and flexibility with tap! Thank u for the great intro!

Do you have any beginner tap dance tutorials of newer current music?
