"Evolution Of Tap Dance" - Postmodern Jukebox ft. Sarah Reich

[@0NodMan0]

*_Her energy and rhythm is great to see live._*

[@midnightfandoms8960]

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!

[@SoulfulTruth]

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.

[@Udontkno7]

When you tap, you usually have to use a board. So we get used to the space!

[@midnightfandoms8960]

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!

[@lyricperson24]

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!!!

[@kingdead42]

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.

[@heyitse4781]

She looks so happy it's adorable

[@Mathiasdanfan]

Yeah

[@DarthCrax]

Seriously, her smile is contagious.

[@PatrickAllenNL]

This art form should never die

[@hexed5465]

Any art form shouldn't die

[@JonathanBrandonBissoo]

Tell that to the people not wanting a drawing of Mohammed.

[@ymirssons]

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.

[@arthurgearheard4701]

I think that Eleanor Powell's bringing it in her many KZbin Vlogs!

[@vitaminluke5597]

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.

[@rubyl.9547]

this is making want to learn how to tap dance

[@exerceyo4405]

the video was posted 1 min ago, you haven't even watched it yet the video is wanting you learn to tap dance? k

[@buildstoys]

How do you know he isn't a Patreon subscriber, where the videos come out before they are on youtube?

[@yuiwaileung]

and, IIRC, they always post it on their website/itunes before making them available on KZbin.

[@kat-we2ny]

I was thinking the same thing

[@switgarlik]

learn to cook is worthr

[@joycemiraglia280]

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 KZbin 💖

[@jenniferferrier13]

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.

[@jenskoning4304]

This lady is one of the very best things about this channel; she is da bomb!

[@genesisfrog]

I wouldn't argue if you posted a full cover of In the Mood.... just saying....

[@izsakgergo3602]

genesis frog agreed

[@champevalclara1725]

genesis frog YES YES YES

[@TheRealTrentRazor]

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.

[@adrino777]

+1 request to In the Mood!

[@crazyfrisbee23]

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 !

[@osmeelohi1302]

This girl is amazing. Thanks for the existence of this group. You makes me happier.

[@leeholong5265]

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...

[@crazyfrisbee23]

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.

[@summerlofland7494]

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😬

[@SissyFlower5]

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.

[@leeholong5265]

I love your word choice SissyFlower5​

[@slimepossum374]

also a way to capture the sound with other loudass instruments by micing the platform

[@lofds]

Sarah Reich is made of pure joy and the spirit of dancing!

[@oddsocks2]

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.

[@mkall]

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

[@Mr.-Roybot]

m. kall they came a long way from doing the flame o phone in Scott's living room

[@gigglyfitzgirl]

m. kall 😂😂💀

[@finnurth]

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 KZbin. 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!

[@flashgmaing2967]

well they do sell merch and go on tours so maybe it comes from that

[@finnurth]

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.

[@finniigan0]

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

[@ArtleyDraws]

Girl!! Her feet were movINGGG!

[@ArtleyDraws]

OMG SANDSTORM.

[@crystalocelot1641]

Mhhh really nooo I thought they were starting a mafia with all 40 of the aliens hidden in area 51

[@wallapology898]

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.

[@Teardrops-In-The-Royal-Family]

I agree! I wanted to bawl from joy too! This woman and the band are unmatched!

[@wes2118]

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

[@blulink]

I've never seen someone so happy as sarah. It shows in her movements and smile.

[@PretentiousPete]

They They actually put in Darude SandStorm?

[@minyoongi878]

Pretentious Pete I thought everyone was trolling like usual in the comments until I saw

[@RSProduxx]

i was like "uh what? that song actually exists?" :D

[@xxcandish0pxx]

I've seen many tap routines to that song at dance competitions. It belonged.

[@wadespencer3623]

Is thsi MEMES?

[@cqjalm7849]

Oh so that was the name of the song

[@Charles.Foster.Offdensen]

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...

[@cassualtea2040]

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.

[@carloshernandez8512]

Que mujer tan increible!!... y la banda!. Esto es un verdadero homenaje a quien se lo merece!!...

[@EndyMX]

Dude! What song is that at 2:38???

[@allesundmehr]

Manuel Herrera lmao

[@Mechthorian]

All Star - Smash Mouth

[@caioaa95]

Sarude Dandstorm

[@switgarlik]

uptown funk

[@still34u]

Holy shit ... I was like "Nice troll" .. It is Darude Sandstorm :D

[@swestervelt]

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 KZbin, as scott was.

[@InsanityDancing]

I need a full Calabria cover. Please.

[@marabanara]

The Scalene Totally agree!!

[@AdaluzRocker]

That would e majestic AF

[@jasonbintz6681]

I always love seeing Sarah dancing. She enjoys what she does, and wonderfully balances your music Scott!! A wonderful musical journey through dance.

[@casey4213]

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.

[@Matt-vv7fl]

I can watch Sarah tap dance all day! You can tell she loves what she's doing! So much energy and joy!

[@abidabegum4836]

The hat tipping didnt go unnoticed by me! I see you, the guy playing the sax @ 0:59

[@canomia]

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.

[@matheusladirp.v.demorais1842]

proud of Brazil's bossa nova represented in the mix 👏👏 Tom Jobim's Wave, que orgulho 🇧🇷

[@worldsgreatestimpressionis6462]

I can watch her all day just joyous!

[@catherinecampbell1215]

Let's just talk about that phenomenal outfit. I want to know the designer so someone can make me one.

[@saltator1802]

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.

[@dramatischegestalten]

I loved the outfit as well! Just wished the golds would match more :D

[@swedneck]

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

[@Awesumpye25]

SHES AMAZING! And she obviously loves what she does! That makes this so fun to watch!! GO SARAH!

[@Brooklyn_]

PHENOMENAL! She is an exceptional dancer and performer. PMJ is always great too!

[@BinaBianca]

THIS WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@myoman1977]

I think the drummer did a great job being understated but adding flavor and feel while keeping time.

[@admiralnlson]

The syncopation from the tap on Calabria at 3:03 is just awesome.

[@vacaespacial]

Finally a video dedicated to Sarah! She is amazing and so is this one! Congrats!

[@aleyda.flores.siller]

Te amo Sara Reich, always an honor and a big pleasure to learn from you♥️ Saludos desde México miss!🇲🇽

[@brianne9]

My favourite PMJ arrangements are the ones with tap dance as part of the percussion. Please keep giving us this great content!

[@robinbrigstocke8121]

Oh my goodness! She's so great!

[@marge201]

Bravo to Sara Reich and the fabulous musicians! That was fabulous!!

[@ahmedalshaiba9185]

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!

[@kazas41]

Yes! Finally! A full video about tap dancing!

[@std882]

Amazing. I love how she taps to the different rhythms in the genres and also to the lines of I wish. Wow!

[@McBenjiii]

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.

[@KaylieBeth822]

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.

[@julioaugusto4424]

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!

[@fredclifford648]

Simply AWESOME.

[@drinkzcoffee5183]

Sarah you are a true inspiration. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@TransCeecee]

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.

[@MikeMaster312]

Just saw this live in Pittsburgh last night. It was an amazing show!

[@petershoesmith3953]

I could happily spend the rest of my days watching these guys. Fantastic.

[@PumperKrickel]

Everyone was on fire in this one. Love a strong brass section!

[@anneschreck5136]

I would like that many more times than once if allowed. I love tap and she's amazing. Thank you so much for this!

[@hermajestyqueenelizabeththeii]

2:45 - What's the song? - Darude - Sandstorm - Aw, common, it's an old meme. What's the song? - ...Darude - Sandstorm?

[@heythere4096]

Sarah you are so talented. I love watching you dance. You make me smile.

[@TessBre]

my favourite vid so far ive never seen tap dancing like this! amazing!

[@katnerddd6223]

Took a class from Sarah and it was a lot of fun. Only just now found this. Makes me so happy.

[@izzy1221]

She is fabulous! Show off those moves gurl! I wish I could tap dance...

[@yversorrod1529]

Wow!... How cool, loved it!... And definitely always ENJOY very, very much watching this girl dancing!!!

[@Alex-xk5dq]

NO WORDS HOW ASTONISHING THIS DAMN THING IS.

[@digdipper09]

I always love to see Sarah Reich tap dance - and to see he do so many songs in one go was wonderful. I love love love this.

[@camillewise]

This is so cool! She's absolutely fabulous and the song choices were great:)

[@shantaldelgado584]

WOW WOW WOW!!! An standing ovation for all of them!! 👏👏👏👏 And Sarah was AWESOME 👏👏👏👏 I love her ❤❤❤

[@vmp916]

Liked, commented, favorited, and unsubscribed just to resubscribe

[@MetaKnight68]

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.

[@mdem5059]

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

[@HandFromCoffin]

Not really into tap.. but really appreciate the skill and loved the education on style.

[@elizabethpecorilli4614]

I can tap dance but no where near this skill!!! Omg she's amazing

[@BarbaraFischer4]

Nice!

[@sonyahannah]

What a deliciously lively and talented little bundle of energy!

[@DauntesAlone]

This was actually kind of beautiful. Obviously I've always known about Tap, just never remotely considered it musically. The fact that you basically made it an accompaniment( not sure I used the term right. :P ) really struck me. Truly fantastic. Thank you all!

[@thomasmichael5942]

I would love a full cover of "Sandstorm" ;)

[@Geronimo122]

She's amazing-- really enjoyed that!

[@taquitoscontraelmundo2485]

While watching one of Sara's videos my daughter told me she wants to learn tap dancing :)

[@andersondejesus3714]

That is so awesome! Thanks PMJ, cannot wait to see you again here in Portugal.

[@joshuamcallister4932]

This whole video was wonderful. I lost my damned mind when you did sandstorm.

[@oscarwildeghost]

She brings back tap all by herself! Absolutely beautiful!

[@babyjeff10]

Song at 2:47?

[@Tes7000]

BabyJeff10 There was a caption at the top of the screen that said Sandstorm.

[@suzannewdowik]

BabyJeff10 I do believe that is meant to be a joke ;)

[@Tvorceskiy]

No idea what it is, but something she's doing while dancing just really draws your eye. Best part is, she looks like she's having so much FUN! She's really amazing!

[@ariannasilva4462]

I can't stop watching this it is so great!

[@kristilisakleiner9384]

She is my favorite tapper, I'm so glad you featured her!

[@LuigiLaitinen]

So am I! And she’s definitely one of my best favorite Tap Dancers too, miss.

[@NotAJollyPotato]

It er seemed to get better at 2:55. What was that song again?

[@Marybringsgoodnews]

Her shuffle hops speak to my heart on a deep level 😭❤ I did tap from age 4-19 years old, I'm 24 now and regret stopping soooo much. This video was great.

[@ndnken7339]

my wife and I have nicknamed her "The Fairy" nothing negative behind it at all. We think the name fits well

[@ninteski]

Amazing, she is incredible

[@Charlie-Mouse]

I never get tired of watching Sarah Reich

[@LuigiLaitinen]

Neither do I.

[@bigbandsrock1]

*I grew up tap dancing and was pretty good! The trick is to NEVER stop! LOVE her and the music! Fabulous!!!

[@polianismos]

Amaaaaaaazing!!! You guys are always getting better!!!

[@rebeccagriffdar0703]

She is crazy talented.. this is amazing!!! All the post modern team are amazing!!! Love it!!

[@jt4351]

Can anyone tell me what Sarah is doing @2:53? It looks like it's a string of shuffles on the right and chug/pull on the left...

[@johnmarquez8207]

Jessica Turner Shuffle heals pretty fast, she maybe even doing riffles

[@veronicaleontin9701]

Such a great performance! Loved rewatching!

[@enilablank1954]

Realmente muito linda! Parabéns, Brasileiros aqui? ❤

[@wendyluek]

How is it possible that 268 people give this a thumbs down? I guess some don't like joy or talent.

[@GreenGoblet22]

You guys should perform more medleys, this was fantastic!

[@CrystalJoyMartin]

THOSE PANTS ARE EVERYTHING. I've been imagining something similar for my wedding but the pants don't exist, so I'm going to have to make them. I wish I knew what kind of beads are down the sides! They look amazing and move just how I imagined they would. AAAGH! SCREAMING INTO THE ETHERRRRR

[@JonHeckendorf]

A lovely, beautiful woman to watch and admire while she performs to great music. For me, it doesn't get any better.

[@sydsschoen6404]

As a tap dancer, may I just say OH MY GOD I'M OBSESSED WITH THIS❤️ Sarah is my twinkle-toed SAVIOR
