*_Her energy and rhythm is great to see live._*
I don’t think some people appreciate the fact that she stayed on that tiny board. That shit is DIFFICULT you need so much space to energetically dance and she somehow didn’t fall off and utilized the space so well!
I think she fell on her face a dozen times and got up so quick that we can't see it ... that's the only logical explanation.
When you tap, you usually have to use a board. So we get used to the space!
velvet shoe buckles I never had to use a board cause I went to classes in a big studio lmao but I guess if you travel you get used to it!
as someone half struggling through my third semester of taking the same beginning tap class,, the amount of weight shifting and balancing she had to do here to be able to (a) not fall down and (b) make the sounds she wanted to make while (c) staying in time and doing most of it so quickly is just... UGH the TALENT and PRACTICE that takes!!!
Her right foot slides off the board @1:03 but her recovery is immediate and so smooth, I'm not entirely sure it was a slip. I've probably watched this video dozens of times and just caught it. Still an amazing performance.
She looks so happy it's adorable
Yeah
Seriously, her smile is contagious.
First I thought tap dancer dances on a board, is to protect the specially made shoes.
Now I know it is to protect the floor...
i thought something similar.. she could as well have danced on the floor, it's not that fancy. ok, it's a bit shiny, and in the end it's someones living room. btw i think the board also amplifies the sound of her tap's.
Lee HoLong
The board is to protect the hardwood flooring. Also hardwood flooring is very slippery in tap shoes which can make it hard to tap. I'm a tapper and I know how bad it can mess up the floors😬
Tap shoes are very hardy. As a matter of fact, the first thing I do when I get a new pair is scuff them outside on the pavement so they're less slippery. They absolutely *massacre* your floors though.
I love your word choice SissyFlower5
also a way to capture the sound with other loudass instruments by micing the platform
this is making want to learn how to tap dance
the video was posted 1 min ago, you haven't even watched it yet the video is wanting you learn to tap dance? k
How do you know he isn't a Patreon subscriber, where the videos come out before they are on youtube?
and, IIRC, they always post it on their website/itunes before making them available on UA-cam.
I was thinking the same thing
learn to cook is worthr
As a percussive dancer myself, I always enjoy when you have tappers accompany your arrangements. Thanks for giving it the spotlight with this one. Sarah is incredible.
This art form should never die
Any art form shouldn't die
Tell that to the people not wanting a drawing of Mohammed.
Drawing mohammed is a sperarate art form? Or is it religious trolling you refering to? Anyway, please let's not go there. Just enjoy the music.
I think that Eleanor Powell's bringing it in her many UA-cam Vlogs!
The fact it's still going strong after this long is a good sign. Even medieval, Renaissance, and baroque music still has a devout following. No doubt people will be tapping for centuries.
This lady is one of the very best things about this channel; she is da bomb!
Its 2023 and so happy I just happen to have been looking for something to watch and this channel popped up. I took tap dancing from the age of 4 till I was 18. And I loved every minute of it.While in high school in the 60s we had Amateur Night and the newspaper The Akron Beacon Journal came to cover it. Well I tap danced and a few weeks later boy was I surprised... My picture of me tap dancing was in the Parade/Roto section of the Sunday paper and the writer compared me to "Gypsy" which had just previously been at the theater. Now at 78 I have some good memories of my tap dancing years. Thank You for sharing this story of Tap Dancing with everyone on UA-cam 💖
Sarah Reich is made of pure joy and the spirit of dancing!
This girl is amazing. Thanks for the existence of this group. You makes me happier.
I love how she puts every part of her into the dance. Her whole body, her expression, the way her eyes light up. I CANNOT. She is incredible. And the band? Never a misstep, tbh.
I wouldn't argue if you posted a full cover of In the Mood.... just saying....
genesis frog agreed
genesis frog YES YES YES
That is so infuriating, I wish they would at least do a couple of jazz standards every now and again. It would hopefully help expose more people to trad jazz, and would fit a lot better than a lot of the pop songs they try to crowbar a jazz sound into.
+1 request to In the Mood!
i can relate.... and in the same breath i have to quote lalaland: jazz isn't about the past, it's about the future. something else: im a dancer but no tap expert, i wonder if the title is justified, and she is doing older moves at the beginning and newer ones in the end. but anyway, sarah is absolutly amazing. her dancing and energy. and that costume. it ridiculously cool !
damn i was thinking how they can afford all this stuff, then realised that they have 2.5 mil subs. the production has increased, i remember a few years back i was thinking how cool they are and how they deserve more subs, but i wasnt bothered enough to share them. glad other people did lol
m. kall they came a long way from doing the flame o phone in Scott's living room
m. kall 😂😂💀
m. kall I'm a bit confused, I have been watching about 30 of their fantastic videos and I never encounter any advertisements. They don't seem to monitize their material so the business model does not seem to include revenue from UA-cam. They are of course using modern lyrics that they do not own and any monitization would have to be shared. Please correct me if I am wrong!
well they do sell merch and go on tours so maybe it comes from that
Flash Gmaing yes so true, but what an ambitious journey this has been and I believe that in the beginning most of the artists appearing in the videos were basically doing it for free.
Saw postmodern jukebox live in concert a couple years back in manchester, she was there tapdancing along to a bunch of the songs and man i was in awe of her (still am!) - really makes you wanna learn to tapdance watching her all happy dancin about, it looks like so much fun :D
The perfect rhythm she has doubled with the piano and the instruments literally makes me cry tears of joy whenever I listen. I love this.
I agree! I wanted to bawl from joy too! This woman and the band are unmatched!
Girl!! Her feet were movINGGG!
OMG SANDSTORM.
Mhhh really nooo I thought they were starting a mafia with all 40 of the aliens hidden in area 51
She just makes you want to smile, even if you don't. The background guys ain't half bad either. She owns center stage for sure.
And oh man, "UPTOWN FUNK"!!!!!
Thanks Postmodern
I've never seen someone so happy as sarah. It shows in her movements and smile.
Que mujer tan increible!!... y la banda!. Esto es un verdadero homenaje a quien se lo merece!!...
They
They actually put in Darude SandStorm?
Pretentious Pete I thought everyone was trolling like usual in the comments until I saw
i was like "uh what? that song actually exists?" :D
I've seen many tap routines to that song at dance competitions. It belonged.
Is thsi MEMES?
Oh so that was the name of the song
1. This is just amazing 2. The fact Sandstorm made an appearance made me smile even more than it already was 3. Her outfit is incredible 4. When did the Saxophone player's orange hat appear? I swear it wasn't there in the beginning...
to answer your question because I also got curious:
He popped under the stand right before Sandstorm and popped up with the hat and sunglasses, he started with a black fedora.
so glad i got back into tap dance. i love watching dancers who you can tell really love to dance. also the sax player popping up at 2:49 made my day.
The syncopation from the tap on Calabria at 3:03 is just awesome.
I need a full Calabria cover. Please.
The Scalene Totally agree!!
That would e majestic AF
I am Truly honored that I have got to see miss Reich perform with PMJ twice. The most recent time was 15 feet away in the good seats. She is a dynamo.
The fact that they use tap as an instrument is one of the initial things that hooked me about pmj.
To me Sarah was as essential to PMJ's success on UA-cam, as scott was.
The hat tipping didnt go unnoticed by me! I see you, the guy playing the sax @ 0:59
I always love seeing Sarah dancing. She enjoys what she does, and wonderfully balances your music Scott!! A wonderful musical journey through dance.
Let's just talk about that phenomenal outfit. I want to know the designer so someone can make me one.
You could easily make a replica, or your own variation on the theme, with a pair of black tights and a stretch top cut away as desired. It's really the trim makes it.
I loved the outfit as well! Just wished the golds would match more :D
my only issue with it is that the pants make her look like a bowlegged cowboy sometimes, the glittery bit really ought to extend a bit further on the insides of the legs
I can watch her all day just joyous!
PHENOMENAL! She is an exceptional dancer and performer. PMJ is always great too!
I can watch Sarah tap dance all day! You can tell she loves what she's doing! So much energy and joy!
I think the drummer did a great job being understated but adding flavor and feel while keeping time.
I love it every time Sara Reich is in one of these videos. Thank you for making one where she's in the full spotlight. And also have to say the outfit is fantastic, it reminds me of Michael Jackson in his Rock With You- video.
proud of Brazil's bossa nova represented in the mix 👏👏
Tom Jobim's Wave, que orgulho 🇧🇷
THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo to Sara Reich and the fabulous musicians! That was fabulous!!
SHES AMAZING! And she obviously loves what she does! That makes this so fun to watch!! GO SARAH!
My favourite PMJ arrangements are the ones with tap dance as part of the percussion. Please keep giving us this great content!
Oh my goodness! She's so great!
Finally a video dedicated to Sarah! She is amazing and so is this one! Congrats!
Amazing. I love how she taps to the different rhythms in the genres and also to the lines of I wish. Wow!
Yes! Finally! A full video about tap dancing!
I bought my tap shoes four years ago, never got the chance to learn how to tap dance, never had the time, but after watching this I am going to learn starting from today no more "I will do it tomorrow" because tomorrow never comes...
Thanks for this amazing performance guys!
Sarah you are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talent.
Wow!... How cool, loved it!... And definitely always ENJOY very, very much watching this girl dancing!!!
I am glad that some people, like this very talented young woman, has kept it alive. But that being said, I am not surprised it isn't more popular.
Te amo Sara Reich, always an honor and a big pleasure to learn from you♥️ Saludos desde México miss!🇲🇽
She is fabulous! Show off those moves gurl! I wish I could tap dance...
I took two years of tap, when I was 5/6 and I can still remember how my feet hurt. but It is wonderful to see and she is so talented. And if nothing else it gave me a chance too dance and instilled a love to dance even to this day.
Just saw this live in Pittsburgh last night. It was an amazing show!
Sarah you are so talented. I love watching you dance. You make me smile.
Everyone was on fire in this one. Love a strong brass section!
In high school, I danced at my local studio. I was the only teen in the advanced program who was really gung ho about tap. It was my passion. I taught kids from beginners to intermediate. Then I went to college and stopped dancing for two years. And then I found PMJ and, most influentially, Sarah Reich, fell in love all over again, made my own tap floor and started dancing on my own again. And it's probably the best decision I've made in my adult life.
2:45
- What's the song?
- Darude - Sandstorm
- Aw, common, it's an old meme. What's the song?
- ...Darude - Sandstorm?
I would like that many more times than once if allowed. I love tap and she's amazing. Thank you so much for this!
Simplesmente incrível! Com a quantidade de vídeos desnecessários criados atualmente, poucos vídeos ainda justificam a existência do YT! Esse vídeo faz o YT valer a pena ainda!
I could happily spend the rest of my days watching these guys. Fantastic.
What a deliciously lively and talented little bundle of energy!
WOW oh my GOODNESS that was so cool at 2:04! going from a flap step stomp to that leap with the shuffle!! and then! the shuffle toe stand thing midair!! and then at 3:23 with the single wings but on a TOE STAND and TURNING. And I love over the tops it made me so happy to see you pull off a double at 3:51. This was so fun wow i love it
NO WORDS HOW ASTONISHING THIS DAMN THING IS.
Simply AWESOME.
I would love a full cover of "Sandstorm" ;)
WOW WOW WOW!!! An standing ovation for all of them!! 👏👏👏👏 And Sarah was AWESOME 👏👏👏👏 I love her ❤❤❤

This is so awesome, and the dancing is mesmerizing, I've replayed it like 10 times lol.
Would love to see some stuff like this thrown in from time to time :D
She's amazing-- really enjoyed that!
While watching one of Sara's videos my daughter told me she wants to learn tap dancing :)
Took a class from Sarah and it was a lot of fun. Only just now found this. Makes me so happy.
I never get tired of watching Sarah Reich
Neither do I.
She is crazy talented.. this is amazing!!! All the post modern team are amazing!!! Love it!!
my wife and I have nicknamed her "The Fairy" nothing negative behind it at all. We think the name fits well
Not really into tap.. but really appreciate the skill and loved the education on style.
This whole video was wonderful. I lost my damned mind when you did sandstorm.
She brings back tap all by herself! Absolutely beautiful!
A lovely, beautiful woman to watch and admire while she performs to great music. For me, it doesn't get any better.
A thoroughly Entertainting Show, 😊👏
I can't stop watching this it is so great!
I will NEVER object to a tap-featuring video with Sarah.
Especially when Maple Leaf Rag, Superstition, and Sandstorm are part of the medley.
You all are amazing. Never stop being an inspiration.
Wish I have the youth and energy to learn tap dancing. Sarah is awesome!
I started at 52yo... You just gotta want it =)
Just fabulous!!!!!!!!!! The dancer and the standard of musicians..................
You guys should perform more medleys, this was fantastic!
She is amazing and I don't have words to say how greatful I'm for seeing her in São Paulo. I'm your fan
