    I'm gonna definitely have to keep number 5 in my mind. I miss the floor often when doing a shuffle

    Thank you, a great review. Due to health reasons had to stop tap dancing for 8 years, now at 68, started up again.....

    This was so helpful! I'm a beginner/intermediate tap dancer and I started tapping when I was 16. I have a lot of catch-up to do, so thank you for sharing Shelby!

    This is very interesting and helpful! I haven't done a lot of tap but when i was in lessons, the teacher said to always bend your knees! The shuffle one was very helpful too because I find I often miss the floor, especially when doing them quickly! Thank you 😁

    I'm an older adult tapper (60). This video is very helpful for the tap dance fundamentals. Though I've done a lot of social dancing, tap dance requires more emphasis on technique than I'm used to using. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

      Shelby, your videos are always helpful. Before COVID-19, I relied on my tap teachers to give a more in-depth explanations for steps, history, etc. But now I find your videos do that. Thanks for responding. Some people who post never respond at all. One of down sides of the Internet.

    Hi from Norway. I'm a beginner, and,yes, this was really something to keep in mind. Thank you som much. I was having a little trouble understanding what you were saying, because of the ecko in your dance studio, so if I hadn't seen the rules in writing, I would probably not have understood the content in all the rules. Just a little feedback from me

      Ya, I know the sound quality is terrible. But honestly if I didn't just film the second I had free time and there was an open room, I would never make videos, so I just do it anyway. Some rooms are worse than others.

    Good video; very helpful info. N.B. underneath is spelled with an 'a'; not an 'i'. D- and see me after class.

      PJ Malone oh I didn’t even see that. I wonder why spellcheck didn’t catch that. I have always been exceptionally good at English but a terrible speller. Lol.

    Hi Shelby. I was wondering if you have any shoe recommendations for beginner tap dancers? I bought a pair that was slightly used (cheap ;o) ) But I think maybe the heels are a little too high. Do you think the height of the heels matters? I wish you a really Happy New tap dancing year!

    • @shelbykaufman
      @shelbykaufman  Рік тому +1

      I definitely think heel height matters. They change where your weight sits. Any brand is fine for beginners but make sure you have a single hard sole, not split soles.
