Your videos are saving my tail!.... I am just starting a tap class,... at the senior center!! I am in my 70’s.... watching your tutorials help me to learn the individual steps... hard to remember all the steps from class one .. it was a blur since it was so all new to this old lady

[@BeginnerDanceTutorials]

I'm so glad the videos are helpful, Marilynn! 💜

so dumb

I love your videos. I was taking an adult tap class, but then I blew out my Achilles!!!! But I’m almost healed so I want to get back into the swing of it and the only class I can find right now is your videos! I like that you go slow. I’m a slow-mo!! And I’m wicked dyslexic… so when you turn to the side, that’s super helpful

[@dancinfool562]

I have been taping for two years. I ran in to some issues when my flap wasn't clean in my routines . This helps me out a lot as a refresher and a source to help me improve my flaps.

[@BeginnerDanceTutorials]

Great to hear! 🤗

[@PatriciaWalsh-nh6mq]

Am also re-learning tap @ local JCC. Could you show the "rideout step" in your next video? You are an excellent teacher!

[@BeginnerDanceTutorials]

Hi Patricia! I'm not familiar with this step, but perhaps I know it by a different name. Can you ask your instructor if it might have more than one name? It turns out that tap dance terminology can vary greatly! 💜

[@Ellytucker]

I am so grateful to you for this. I am using this during the pandemic to learn to tap. This is perfect!

[@BeginnerDanceTutorials]

Thank you, Elly! I hope you're having fun learning to tap. Take care! 💜💜

[@Ellytucker]

You are a great teacher! I have taken beginner tap 3 times and this is the most fun. You repeat perfectly and are adorable!

[@BeginnerDanceTutorials]

Getting to share dance with people (especially adult beginners) is my favorite thing to do! Knowing that you’re having fun makes my heart happy. 🥰 I appreciate you taking the time to comment, and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the tutorials, Elly. 💜

Hi! Love your videos! Can you give me a tip or clue to get the correct weight placement in the Flaps. Stationary flaps and other movements where change of weight is involved are very difficult to me at this moment.

[@gloriabailey7195]

Absolutely love your videos....any chance of instructions for "National Anthem" Shim Sham Shimmy?

[@dancinfool562]

Great

[@bensonsam3094]

[@gloriabailey3127]

Would it be possible to show a video to learn the Shim Sham Shimmy?

[@PatriciaWalsh-nh6mq]

Turns out the "rideout" is a.k.a. "back essense.." Do you have a video showing that one? Many thanks!

[@martinebertoli737]

MERCI
