It’s the third week – go you! Having a great time? Working hard? I hope both!
Up until now, we’ve been doing a lot of Shuffling. This week, we’re going to learn a new, super-important building block of tap. It’s called the “Flap.” Flap is a really versatile step that you can turn into all kinds of Flap Heels, Flap Ball Change, you can add some Stomps, use Flaps to move forward and back, and of course combine it with our Shuffles. For our dance, we’ll be doing a routine to the song, “Taking Over My Heart,” by Chanale. It’s going to be so much fun!
Thought for the week:
We’re building, ‘step by step.’ Whatever you learn becomes the foundation to take you even higher!
Class 1: Introduction to Flaps
Ready to go? Great. Let’s jump right in! This week is all about Flap. You’ll see some similarities to Shuffle, but it’s a different move, and it allows you to do all kinds of different and fun steps. The first class we’ll learn the basic Flap, and then turn it into Flap Heel, then Flap Heel Heel, and finally a 3 Flaps 2 Heels Combination. So put those shoes on, and let’s get tapping!
Class 2: Flap Ball Change
Welcome back! How are all those Flaps and Heels going? Now we’re going to take the basic Flap and do some interesting moves and combinations, starting with 3 Flaps, Stomp and Clap, and then Flap Ball Change. You remember Shuffle Ball Change, right? Well now we’re going to do something similar with Flap. So “flap” those wings and let’s get flying!
Class 3: Dance Routine #3
Third class of the week, and it’s time for our third dance routine! This time, we’re going to have so much fun dancing to Chanale’s song “Taking Over My Heart,” which is about being a parent, and how even though having kids can make life really crazy sometimes, parenthood is filled so much love and laughter, inspiration and meaning, that it makes it all worthwhile. A great message!
In this dance, we’re going to be doing: 3 Flaps, Stomp & Clap, Flap Heel, Shuffle Hop Step, Flap Ball Change, Shuffle off to Buffalo, walking steps, turns, and more! Can’t wait!
