I think people.underestimate how difficult tap is. This was so good!

[@sailorr9443]

They really do! I tap dance and it took me years too learn some steps! You have to have the right rhythm with no extra sounds and it’s just really difficult! The fastest thing I can do is the triple timestep

[@tee2231]

right.

[@The1Dragonprincess]

Freda Yee It also seems painful. I’m amazed at how they managed to still use their feet after such moves, much less not twist an ankle or two.

[@xxpaige8943]

This kid made fun of me by stomping all over saying it’s tap and it hurt tap is very underrated but I love it

[@kait3939]

Yessss! Preach! I’ve been dancing almost my whole life and tap is the hardest and fastest type of dance. And it’s my absolute favorite! It’s not like jazz or lyrical. If you miss a sound your in trouble. Everything has to be PERFECT! And everyone in my studio hates it and thinks it’s the dumbest thing

take a class, or just buy the shoes it is well worth the 60 or so dollars for a pair of tap shoes

[@ARIA-rg8yk]

pandacat 04 slow down the video a bit, honestly helps with seeing the steps better and then you can practice a long after watching it a few times, while speeding up the dance at your own pace til you get it to be the same speed as the normal speed on this video.

[@jbird8057]

I LOVE this style of tap. The taps sound toned, like music! Doing this style, every sound matters. It reminds me of old Hollywood dancers like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. It seems like so much of today's tap involves loud stomping and hyper speed (never mind accuracy). It's a sharp contrast to what seems to be so popular in the competitive tap world, where it's all about volume and speed. I wish there was more tap like this out there!

[@CottnBudz]

2:33 i like how she just chills and drinks that glass instead of tap dancin like everyone else XD

[@user-dg9to7tw5f]

That would be a mood, "was I suppose to tap dance during the outro oops-"

[@willmacrealtalk4754]

[@celia.gallardo]

I’ve been in tap dance for a year now. This video was so inspiring at the beginning. Even if I’m not as graceful as all of you I think I already know how to do all the steps but it’s so hard to figure the choreography out, specially the steps where the camera is pointing to your faces. I still love this video so much. I’d love to dance like you, you’re an inspiration. Thank you for that I would love a tutorial on this choreography. I just can’t stop watching. I love it so much

[@ChrisAndClay]

I love that you have been tapping for a year! That's awesome. Keep up the great work!

[@celia.gallardo]

Christopher Rice it’s something I’ve been wanting to do for so long. I just love it. It’s really hard to find tap teachers in Mexico but we are so lucky to have found our teacher. He is really strict but we learn a lot and fast. And he’s been great at getting everything he needed for us to keep on dancing from home. It’s been so fulfilling to start by not being able to do a shuffle correctly and by now it feels so natural. You’re still an inspiration, I want to dance like you someday.

[@DaleFingerstyleGuitar]

This proves that music lives in everything, our feet makes such music. Even our heartbeats are music too.

[@rebeccapatterson649]

Never get tired of watching these amazing dancers.

[@anonymouswombat2354]

It's so impressive. They all have to be perfectly together, because you can hear it if they make a wrong step. That's another level of concentration and confidence.

[@AwkwardVixen]

this seriously makes me cry. i want to learn how to do this so badly :'(

[@BirdsnBlooms1]

AwkwardVixen, check out Rod Howell videos. Start with Learn to Tap Dance or #1 Beginner Tap Dance. I've learned so much since July.

[@ayyeitslaney4916]

Its easy! I've been doing it since I was 5. You'll get the hang of it. Find a place that teaches tap dance and start going to classes! Get quality tap shoes so you have good sound, and make sure you are at all your classes (unless your sick or there's an emergency) because you don't wanna fall behind! Good luck!!

I’ve been tapping since before I could Remember, basically my whole life! This is so good! And it sounds amazing! Tap dancing is so fun! I can be myself in it and I’ve been at my Tap studio for like ever and all the teachers I’ve ever had love me! I know basically everyone there, tap dancing is very underestimated and looks easy and sounds cool, but some steps are pretty hard! Like… wings! For me at least, I’m in middle school and I’m in an advanced class for high schoolers but it’s taken over by 6-7-8th graders, me being the youngest and my friend being the second youngest, he’s been tap dancing for a long time too and just started at our studio! It’s amazing they welcomed him with open arms now ever Monday he comes up to me and says “I’ll see you laterrrr tonight” and makes a weird but funny face then we chase each other around. I do love tap dancing and it is a sport it’s amazing, fun, sounds real cool, and something that’s kinda in one’s life forever, now it’s not my fav sport I do but def my 2nd fav! I do it at school, at home, at my other sports, basically everywhere! This is amazing! Good job to everyone!
