Welcome back… to the second half of the course! That’s right, we’re in Week 4, and already you’ve learned two essential steps of tap dance, Flaps and Shuffles. Great job!
This week, we’re going to learn lots of fun combinations, including Dig Heel Toe Heel and Step Toe Hop, which are super cute. We’ll also learn a new step called Cramp Roll, plus Tap Box Step and Tap Grapevine. Then we learn our first turn: Toe Heel Turn! This week’s dance is to the Rebbetzin Tap song, “Apples & Honey,” from our Jewish Holiday Celebration DVD. Lots of great stuff coming up!
Thought for the week:
Greatness isn’t a result of natural talent. It comes from hard work and sticking with it, so keep it up!
