biz with Justin Jackson to get some tips
on tap dancing
I’m going to show you guys the basic
elements of tap-dancing what you start
with before you become a real tap dancer
so this is called toes you’re using only
the front part of your shoe

right and left right and left right and
left and right and left those are called
toes you’re not using anything but the
front part of your shoe after step one
let’s move on to heel this is the same
thing but now you’re moving everything
that was in the front to the back
pay attention watch you’re going to give
me
heel heel heel heel heel heel heel heel
you have right and left right and left
right and left and right and left almost
similar to the first step but now it
goes back to your heels once you
mastered step one and step two here’s
something else
they’re called toe taps you’re going to
bend your left knee whomp this one goes
to the side your right leg goes to the
side and you’re going to just tap your
toe one two three four five six seven

next step this is when you guys really
start to really tap dance this is going
into the real fast foot working stuff
