Behind The Scenes: Toronto Tap Dance Intensive PART 1
Toronto tap dance
Tap dancers unite! A wonderful week of tap dance inspiration happened in Toronto August 23 – August 27 at Byfield Dance Experience (BDX). It was a wonderful opportunity for tap dancers from the GTA and as far east as New Brunswick- to come together, learn, grow and make friends.
Run by some Shawn Byfield guy, the 5 day Tap Dance Intensive briefly covered many topics:
- Basic tap dance history, notable tap dancers from the past and their contributions
- Lesson in music history, specifically focusing on Europe’s influence on North American music eras
- Daily exercises to refine and improve our tap dance technique, musicality and listening skills
- Improvisation techniques, and how to improve our confidence when creating on the spot
- Crash-course in reading music, notation, traditional musical forms and how they apply to us as dancers
And of course, a TON of daily tap dance choreography that would make your head spin!
And if that wasn’t enough, not one but TWO popular, exciting and very special guests came in to teach their tap choreography, share stories of their experiences and INSPIRE. Here’s some shots from behind the scenes.
SHARE your thoughts! Comment at end of this post. Stay tuned for Part 2…
