YES! we need to know more about tap songs please.

[@shelbykaufman]

+Najwan Al-Harbi Ok, I will make a video soon about music...

[@caroltanzer4304]

This is great to practice at home and makes a nice warm-up combination. You mentioned possibly adding some additional steps to make it longer--were those ever done? if so what are they called so I can check them out. Thank you for making these great tutorials.

[@shelbykaufman]

I haven't made a part 2 yet... is that something you'd be interested in?

[@caroltanzer4304]

I would love it and I believe others would too. I've been doing reps of the one above to make it longer :).

[@stevehoward3475]

only just viewed this one going to have a go in my shed at the bottom of the garden where I can curse loudly and out of earshot until I get it right, thanks Shelby, if I was 30 years younger I'd propose!!😊

[@patrickmcgann5710]

love the combination, with there was more tap dancing because I lose focus in between the words. if maybe the explanation was at the end, and all the dancing upfront. thank you home the less. that was great.

[@qweiop1959]

Shelby when you tap dance do you where socks

[@shelbykaufman]

+QWE IOP I usually do, but I also know people who don't like to. It's completely a personal preference.

[@qweiop1959]

Shelby Kaufman whats the difference in wearing socks

[@shelbykaufman]

@@qweiop1959 I have a bunch of foot problems so the cushion from the sock feels better on my feet. I just saw this by the way... sorry it took so long for me to respond!

[@tanisgentle3576]

Who wears socks in dance shoes?

[@tanisgentle3576]

And yes I would like a video with difference between swing. Thank-you for your tap-torials Shelby!

[@tanisgentle3576]

I think for beginners who don’t know counts, and especially beginners who have done other kinds of dance and understand 1-2-3-4 this is unhelpful and unnecessary? Idk. I learned tap without these counts (and with step names).

[@shelbykaufman]

Whether or not counts help you personally, and regardless of how you were taught, I would never teach a combination without them for any level as a courtesy to those who do find them helpful.
