New Adventures!

New Adventures! This week is all about making videos. Talk about uncomfortable. The journey of trying a new skill is one thing, watching yourself on video is another. Come with me and learn some basic steps on my journey.  I definitely found learning to tap is hard work. Who knew it made me break a sweat, no one signed up for that kind of work, right? In my week I have learned some moves to make some good sounds. I think I like being able to pound noises out on the floor! When I'm dancing, obviously I know I'm a beginner. Although, in my head I'm a super star!! Anyone need me to teach them? HAHA Honestly, anyone can learn to dance, its just practice, and a little coordination. Thanks for coming along for the ride.

I have found it quite interesting to dive into the history of the actual shoe as well. I'm amazed about he sounds that people are able to make with a piece of metal on the heel and toe of shoes. I think it would be awesome to go to a factory where they are made and to watch the process. Here's some shoe info: .

TIP TOP TAPPIN'

WELCOME EVERYONE! This will be my first post in our 6 week long journey on "how to learn to tap dance" . This is a skill that has been used for many decades for entertainment across the world. The skill is performed with a pair of leather shoes and two metal taps, one on toe and one on the heel. The art of tap dancing is a skill that I have admired for a long time.  I have 2 daughters that are competitive dancers for their life and I have always loved watching them do this style. I had personally never learned to tap. Now that my eldest daughter owns a dance studio, this is the perfect time for me to learn to "shuffle ball chance" across the room. The motivation I have to learn is that maybe I can do a couple combos with them and maybe one day dance along side them.  There are a few basic steps in learning tap, that within the 6 week challenge, I should be able to master. The skill of learning to tap the toe and heel right after is not as easy as it looks, but I am ...
