I started tapping (wearing tennis shoes) about 4 weeks ago & got tap shoes for Christmas! This video is great. It’s pretty challenging for me as a beginner but I enjoy doing the moves over & over until I get it. Thanks for posting this class!
Haven't tapped in over 20 years - got some shoes and a floor during quarantine and your video has been a life saver! Thank you so much for posting. You're an amazing teacher - wish I could go to your classes in person, but at least this way I'm not throwing anyone off when I miss a step (or 5 lol).
Your lessons are great. You explain well, slow it down enough then with the music. Also like your choice of music. Haven’t tapped in over 30 yrs and started up again (in my motorhome) thanks to youtube. A huge thank you.
I live in the middle of no where. I’ve been wanting and asking for virtual classes for years. Guess there’s one kinda of “good thing” about Covid. All of these amazing virtual classes are so readily available. So fun. And I love how you broke down the steps. Thank you!
I used to take tap lessons back in the 90’s, and decided yesterday to start back up. My son bought me some new shoes and I’ll start by doing this video series as soon as they get here! I’m so excited.
another great video! thank you for making dance accessible to people. definitely a challenge, but it was really fun to push myself and work on the moves! i've been wanting to learn a suzy q for ages, so this video really is a dream come true!
This is amazing. I'd really like to learn, sadly in my country it's almost impossible to find someone. So thank you for sharing, this is the only kind of dance I like. Greetings from Argentina, you're great
This is GREAT! I recently bought myself a pair of tap shoes and a small practice floor, in order to get back into tapping during COVID-19 here in NYC. Thanks so much for making this available!
I’ve been searching tonight for a UA-cam trainer who is somewhere between beginner and intermediate because I think I can catch on quicker than the beginning ones but I still need to be brought through The song in A slower and well explained way. I am subscribing to your channel because this was exactly what I was looking for
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I haven’t tapped in a very long time and have had hip surgery. This was my first attempt at starting again and I enjoyed it very much. And the puppies were an added bonus! Thank you!
hi, how do you manage the impact on your hips? I have scoliosis and back pain and I'm a bit worried about hurting myself. is this helping you to get stronger again? I just took my tap shoes out of the drawer and thinking about it.. lol. thanks in advance
@@Zal1810 I went to physical therapy for a year and they helped me with moves to get me ready for impact activities like tap and running. I’d either find a local PT or try and see if there’s something on UA-cam.
Kara's beginner beginner classes are so good I'm ready for advanced beginner. Progress! Using the instruction from Artisan daily. Enjoying my first go at adv. beg. very much, it's helping me get up to speed for my live class. Thanks so much for posting.
I really want to do this!!!!!!!!!!! I took dance classes when young. I keep thinking I'd rather take a class in person but why not get started now? I plan to buy one of those tap dancing boards. If anyone has a suggestion for the best one to buy please comment here. Thanks.
I love your class! I have a question just to clarify- after the first 2 paradiddles it looks like you need to step on your right foot before starting the 2 drawbacks with left foot. So it’s an extra step in there??
Hi. Begginer here. Nice lesson. Thank you very much. One "advice", you should add the word jazz to the tutorial.. i been serching for jazz tutorials and wasnt easy.
Great ideas for exercises. Wish the cueing was better (how many you’re doing of each before you start or just before you switch). Will jerk at it, thanks!
How do I watch just your video lessons as the others are not nearly as easy to follow! I subscribed to the channel but got lots of other instructors and classes including ballet. Thanks FYI love your teaching!!!!!
Love this! Tap shoes are in the mail. Would you please type info on the practice floor you are using and the other brands you recommended? You spoke quickly as you described them and I didn’t understand. Many thanks. Rekindling my tap passion from years ago! 😍
I've never in my life had a dance class without queuing! Too hard to follow...been doing tap for a good 20 years, but teachers always give a heads up what is coming next and why
Stacey G a tap floor will give best results but some slabs of clean cut wood would work fine. Tapping on tile just makes really loud unpleasant sounds but if it is all you have it could work. Just don’t use your normal wooden floor it can damage the floor or even the taps. MOST IMPORTANTLY do not tap on CONCRETE it will ruin your taps.
Hi Molly -- I use "Charleston" by James P. Johnson, "Blues in Hoss's Flat" by Count Basie, and "Stompin and Jumping" also by Count Basie. These are my go to warm up songs. The combo is "Steam Heat" from Fosse!
Yeah, because for beginners, you don’t put it all together. You just do sets of flaps. Then you do sets of shuffles then you do sets of ball change then you do two together that’s like a class. She’s doing intermediate class absolutely not a beginner class definitely not.

My favorite routine ❤ I haven’t tapped since I was 17, I’m 51 and loving it again 😅
Okay. I got half way through and really enjoyed it. Beginner beginner here but like the challenge! Thanks for posting it.
Please please please do more exactly like this!!! You're the BEST teacher and the tap level is perfect for watching again and again.
Me too! I'm 59, and haven't taken beginner tap in about 5 years...this is such fun, and you are a great teacher! Thank you from Winnipeg, Canada!

Loved this..I'm an almost 60 year old who has always wanted to tap and loved the steps and music which made it fun to do. Thank you!
Thank you so much! This is my new year's resolution, and I'm so glad I found you :)
Same thing!!
Ditto!
You are WONDERFUL! Just what I was looking for! Thank you for front facing and keeping the flow easy! Please keep it up

I love this so much! I have learned so much from this video I almost feel like a real tapper lol
Awesome combination and challenging in the best way!

Looking at the cute little doggie.
I never dance this tap dance, good luck to me, I will try my best to learn this from your UA-cam tutorial.
I really want to do this!!!!!!!!!!! I took dance classes when young. I keep thinking I'd rather take a class in person but why not get started now? I plan to buy one of those tap dancing boards. If anyone has a suggestion for the best one to buy please comment here. Thanks.
What is the name of the tap floor? I'm not familiar with it and couldn't find it online. Your video is great!!
Me encanto! Desde chile :DDDD

I will practice this

yes please could you repeat the name of the practicing floor?? thanksss
Ditto! I didn’t catch the names of the flooring products. Links in the description would be even better! Maybe you can even earn a small commission??
❤❤❤❤❤
hello i adore this leason you are very good teacher , could you tell me the name of this song you are using ? thanks and continu
Ik ben zelf tien jaar en ik wil ook tapdansen het lijkt mij wel leuk merci
do you have any more i like you the best
Where do i get a dance board like the one your tapping on? Thank you
Do you have a spotify playlist for tap class you could share?
These few simple movements work on everything 😂
Great! What do you put on your floor to practice on?
I would like to know where I can get that too
Where do I get a removable tap floor section. Thanks kindly.
What kind of floor can I dance on? Looking for a dance pad of some sort
Love that the dog doens't care about all of this.
Hi! What’s you’re Spotify playlist name or your name to follow and practice please ?
Where can I buy a tap dance portable floor like yours please?
If you don’t mind lol where did you get your tap board? I’m a tapper but my garage floor is scratching my tap shoes lol
Hey, hers its Omara, there's also Fasfoot portable floors which are very good too!
Pls tell us what steps are coming next when it starts speeding up with some graphics. :)
I've never in my life had a dance class without queuing! Too hard to follow...been doing tap for a good 20 years, but teachers always give a heads up what is coming next and why
What type of material is the tap floor???
where can i get the floor that the lady is tapping on please. thanks.
Hi! Can anyone please recommend a portable board for my home use? Some of these are so expensive! I dont know what kind to get. Thank you!
Do I need to purchase a practice floor for tap dancing? We have tile flooring in our home? Can I just tap dance on that?

What CDs can I purchase for that please?
is there a link to the music?
Could you recommend a tap shoe. Thanks
obvsly i’m not OP but i got my taps from discount dance and just looked at a bunch of different reviews before i ordered a specific pair
Capezios are a classic go to, good quality. I got their Cadence ones (they fit the best for me)

It would be nice if u write what music u are dancing to, because the routine is quite bounded to music
"Steam Heat" from the musical Pajama Game
@@jessearcher7828 thanks!
@@jessearcher7828 note, it is not shazamed

When your a great tap dancer and you been doing it for 8 years but it’s covid👁👄👁
Ok so as watching…you are explaining..I’m looking for a 20-30 minute tap workout..not actually learning to tap dance..
