Tap dancing is an exciting dance style that uses metal-plated shoes to create complicated clicking noises. No matter how old or young you are, you can become an amazing tap dancer with practice.
After you buy workout clothes and
, enroll in a class in person or online.
To master the basic moves, like ball change, ball heel, shuffle, and heel step, you'll have to learn to tap along with the rhythm.
Purchase some comfortable workout clothes that don’t restrict your movements.
Next, find some tap dancing shoes. These shoes can be bought online or at specialty dance supply stores. Choose a comfortable, well-fitting pair of shoes that have metal plates attached to the heel and ball of the foot.
If you’re not ready to buy tap dancing shoes, you can wear flat-soled dress shoes instead. Choose shoes that don’t have a ridge on the bottom.
The metal plates on the bottom of tap shoes are called “taps.” More expensive tap shoes have taps that can create different tones.
Find a tap dance class.
Do an online search to find a tap dance studio in your area that meets your needs. For example, if you’re interested in performing or competing, find a studio that holds regular recitals or enters competitions. If you can’t find the information online, call the studio to ask questions about the tap dancing classes. For example:
Tap in rhythm with the music.
First, bend your knees slightly. Extend one foot in front of you or to the side, keeping your leg straight. Lift your leg and tap the ball of your foot against the ground do to a “Toe Tap.”
Continue tapping in time with the music. This will help you learn to tap rhythmically and listen to the music you’re dancing to.
Repeat this exercise with either foot until you feel comfortable tapping in time with the music.
You can tap dance to whatever song you’d like. However, if you use your favorite song, you won’t get tired of hearing it when you repeat the exercise.
This is one of the most basic steps in tap dancing. First, stand with your feet together and your hands on your hips. Lift your right foot slightly. Keeping your heel raised, stomp down with the ball of your foot to create a clicking sound. Next, lower your heel sharply, keeping the ball of your foot pressed against the ground.
Combine basic steps to create advanced moves.
You can either learn an advanced move from your instructor or invent your own at home. Most complicated tap dancing moves are made up of a combination of shorter, simpler moves. When learning the advanced move, break it down into a series of smaller, basic steps. Once you learn these steps, you will know the advanced dance move.
Write down the sequence of basic steps on a notepad or piece of scrap paper. This will help you remember how to do the dance move.
Practice transitioning between the smaller steps. If you transition smoothly enough, the basic steps will come together and look like one long complicated dance move.
While learning a difficult move, dance very slowly. Focus on mastering each step and learning the full routine. As you become more comfortable with the dance move, gradually speed up. If you have a solid understanding of the dance move, you will be able to perform it more quickly.
This method is also important for learning basic dance moves. A good understanding of the basics will give you a solid foundation for the more difficult dance moves.
Series of Tap Dancing Lessons. Some of these series include an entire course of lessons that take an absolute beginner to the next level. Others have organized their videos by type of step or combination.
