I've learned it from two different teachers, and one of them called it a Broadway, and the other calls it a Lindy. So many names for this one awesome dance step!

[@katie.r.rich11]

Same! I've heard it as a butterfly and as a Broadway.

[@matildajade9933]

Oh weird in Australia we mostly call it an around the world

[@eleanorhauckanimation]

My old teacher just called it a Thingie.

[@laurengoodyear8530]

I am getting tap shoes tonight and now i already know how to do this move! I have only taken a class last year and I’m starting again!! This video was very helpful

[@judybarcenas530]

I do remember Mrs. Temple dancing that step.

[@MarthaMaysie]

Yess! My dance studio always called it a Shirley temple. I moved and my new place calls it a Broadway and I was so confused! Glad I wasn’t going crazy lol

[@lenie5402]

I always learned this as a Broadway lol

[@bodhirolf9444]

She doesn't blink 😦

[@strawbinnys]

[@opascasio2820]

When I dance I don’t blink either 😳 I just watched all my dance videos

[@bunnyboo786]

I thought you were exaggerating, but then I watched it closely. She doesn’t blink… at all. Lol.

[@gbrainy]

Thanks so much! Super easy to follow and your videos are great for beginners like me! Muah!!

[@electratic]

Thanks for this I'm taking tap for the first time and your videos help a lot. Btw Shirley Temple is still alive @ 85 she's as charming as ever :)

[@dramafree650]

Dead now.

[@silvinarapisarda8043]

I love these videos!!!

[@gildahendricks4398]

Hey y'all, I really learned how to do the Shirley Temple and the Single Time Step! It z great!

[@jbird8057]

To improve on this, imagine books on your head and keep your knees in a bent position, without any bouncing on the heels.

[@sravankumar6514]

[@ilovejeffbuckley523]

This was very helpful! Thank you!

[@tinygymnastkelly6654]

I love tap

[@dorkz3214]

im shook

[@anne-mariegerardgaller7053]

I know it as Manhattan... and I’ve done two Broadway shows!!

[@lauraogara2190]

Full speed looks impossible to the beginner. Review slowly longer before you take off...plz!!

[@wendyweinland5359]

Go to your settings and reduce the speed to half or seventy-five %. It really helps.

[@georgiadavies147]

As it says in the title...his isn’t a ‘beginner’ move. I suggest doing some more study and getting comprehension up so you can understand what is going on. It will make it much easier.

[@lilijennings7316]

Heh. This was one of the first moves I mastered when I was a beginner. 😂Good luck learning it. It was really hard for me.

[@hayleymarse2853]

Flap, heel heel, brush heel, toe heel. This is one of the first moves beginners learn after learning basic steps

[@stargazer1734]

I learned that this was called a Manhatten

[@nicoleytierra6986]

i got it after watching the video 3 times

[@melissazimmer1802]

My teacher definitely use to call this a chop suey...

[@melissahoward3111]

We were tough these called broadways

[@haleybird4723]

Hey isn't this called a Hollywood?

[@l.m.w9406]

There are lots of different names for the same step

[@renaearndt1677]

We call it a broadway. But there a lots of moves that have different names

[@Moonfire121]

It's also called an Alexander!

[@lilijennings7316]

I was told it's a windshield wiper.

[@jennerial]

This move is called the "BoJangles" after the actor Bill Robinson who made this move famous. NOT the "Shirley Temple"

[@hayleymarse2853]

We call it a broadway

[@heavenh5837]

It has multiple names
