FANtastic!! Terrific rhythms, innovative choreography, infectiously exuberant and technically difficult made to look easy. The heir apparent to Savion Glover.
I wonder if they could put piezo triggers in a pair of tap shoes and link it to a synth to make it into a melodic instrument instead of just percussive.
As both a soccer player and a tap dancer, I can say the two skills are connected- both require quick precise shifts of weight. Love both the "art" forms.
She may be cute and sexy to some, I am sure she is. But she is a terrible tap dancer. She doesn't understand Art in general, and that includes Tap as an Art. From the first second, i had to stop watcvhjng her.
+Tracy Everitt It might be useful to articulate exactly why you feel this way. I hear morse code pretty well at 50 words per minute and copy it well at 30 wpm, it sounds like a blur to people who do not have good rhythm. I hear a very strong, tightly controlled rhythm coming from Michelle.
And to add to the others below, you don't really say anything other than the fact that you think she is bad (which she is not). Have you checked her bonafides, how much she has influenced the world of tap, how she has brought tap back into the public eye? You offer nothing other than a mean spirited review AND when you say that "from the first second, you had to stop watching her", then you obviously didn't watch it. Add context or forever hold your piece.
Michelle Dorrance….Thank you!!! Makes me wanna dance!
Outstanding!
BAM! Michelle will be teaching and performing at Stockholm Tap Festival 2014!
Merveilleuses tapes
The song is Radiohead's "Everything in It's Right Place"
Excellent/skillful
I think I'm in love with this Zippy lady!
Fantastico❤

😂 whatttttt
Michelle, you're the best))
Could you imagine Dad? "She's going to play soccer!" Mom "No, she's going to be a dancer!" Soccer Dad + Ballet Mom= Michelle
Muy buena ésta percusionista de pies ! BRAVA !
Good job, she got moves.

Been done, even on film
Get it, Mash!
Does anyone know what brand of tap shoes she has??
Brilliant. would like to do a duet with you. Cracking style/beats. Alan
Played soccer in high school with her dad. He had fancy foot work but nothing like this. Wow.

Haha you can see Jsam grooving in the wings at 1:40
Do you have any footage of her doing nerve taps??
deeply groovy
Michelle you are one sexy drummer, girl! Cx
How does she warrant a "genius" grant?
She is a great tapper, but her musicality is not so great. It seems like she's just doing whatever she wants and it doesn't fit in with the band.
She may be cute and sexy to some, I am sure she is. But she is a terrible tap dancer.

Yeah, that's probably why she received the MacArthur Genius Grant for tap dancing... Because she's terrible...

Must be an old fart that thinks tap should look like it did 100 years ago. Please post a video of what tap SHOULD look and sound like.
