A Guide To Tap Dance Steps

This is a quick guide to tap dancing steps. First, I'm going to teach you the shuffle. So, you brush forwards and back.

A little bit quicker. Shuffle. Shuffle.

Shuffle. You can do this with the left leg, too. Shuffle.

Shuffle. I'm going to stand on the side so you can see. Forwards and back.

Forwards and back. You can also do it a little bit faster, with an accent. Shuffle.

Shuffle. Shuffle. Shuffle.

And on the left, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle, shuffle and that's a shuffle. I'm now going to teach you a spring, a tap spring, and a tap-spring-toe-hop, and then link them all together. So, make sure your weight is forward, and your knees are slightly bent.

A spring is similar to a jog, with your heels slightly off the ground. Spring two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. I'm now going to show you how to do a tap spring.

You do this by making a small tap with your foot and then springing onto the foot. Tap and spring. Tap and spring.

Tap and spring. A little faster, tap-spring - tap-spring. I'm now going to show you how to do a tap-spring toe-hop, so the tap spring as we've just done.

A toe-dig and hop. On the left, tap-spring, toe, and a hop. Tap-spring.

Toe. Hop. And a tap-spring.

Toe. And a hop. I'm going to link these together now.

We get spring two, three, four, tap-spring, tap-spring, toe-hop. Four springs. Four tap-springs.

And four tap-spring toe-hops. And that was a guide to some common tap dancing steps. .
