I call this tap dance exercise “Can You Dig It!” It focuses on dig heels, weight transfer, pattern recognition, syncopation, and variations in the pattern when switching to other sides.
Slow the tap warm up down if you’re a beginner tap dancer or speed up the exercise to challenge your advanced skills. Best part about this exercise? It’s perfect for all tap dance levels.
We’ll be using this tap lesson at my Toronto dance studioByfield Dance Experience (BDX) regularly in class.
I love vintage tap dance videos… check out this display of rhythm and tap dance love from 1933.
Four Outstanding Tap Dancers
Tap dance is truly such an amazing art form. You get to express through movement, be a percussive musician, and sweat your pants off when it’s all over! I’m loving this video.
If you’re in Toronto, come drop by my dance studio and let’s tap!
