Beginner Tap Steps Part 2
zhlédnutí 164Před 9 měsíci
I love when my students request these reference videos. They are really passionate about learning the names of the steps. I try to include variations of names. Remember, Tap Dance is a form that is passed down from generation to generation, so depending on your teacher or what region of the world you study, maybe you know a 'brush' as a 'spank', etc. It is not wrong, it is just different! I als...

This is a resource I wanted to create, especially for my students who are moving away and still have a desire to keep dancing. We are all aware videos are not a complete replacement to in-person training. You need your dance coach/teacher/instructor to see you, tell you what to do, and use physical cues. Yet, my videos can serve as a great supplement to your in-person training when you cannot m...

This is a resource I wanted to create, because it seems dance teachers who are comfortable teaching younger ages are in high demand right now. A lot of new teachers only want to teach advanced dancers. Yet, the true superpower is in setting up a good foundation to become an advanced dancer. Luckily, I have been guided through wonderful training programs and had incredible mentors who provided m...

Beautiful Miss Nia :)
Thank you, Ms. Robin! You're so kind and I miss you so much <3
F*ck yeah!
Guuuuurrrrrlllll get it! Going with you next time!
YES!
.
First
Thank you for making the point that students should study the "pure" form of dance technique (modern, jazz, ballet) before jumping into contemporary dance. If not, dancers do not look as clean in their technique as they should.
Thanks, Sue! That means so much coming from you, and you're absolutely right :)
Clearly well explained, Nia 💕👍
Thank you so much! <3 I appreciate you watching :)
Great job Nia! We should dance together sometime!
Aww thank you , Amanda! We should, I miss you 🤗❤️
Such great performances the shows will be truly missed.
Killing it. haha
