How to Do Drop Steps in Tap Dancing

Hi, this is Sarah McLellan in New York City we at June Parody's Dance Studio. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to teach you today some basic and beginning tap moves. Come on in! Now the drop steps that I'm going to teach you are very similar what makes up the change steps the ball change, heel change. They really talked about bringing the foot down and letting it drop on the ground. So I'm going to show you that right now. So we have the heel drop and the ball drop. The heel drop is basically just dropping your weight onto the floor. Dropping your weight, dropping your weight, dropping your weight. Same with the ball drop you lifting your toe up first of all and dropping it down, dropping it down, dropping it down. So I would show you the heel drops again. Heel, heel, heel, heel or you can do it on one foot just for practice heel, heel, heel, heel, heel, toe, toe, toe. That is really good to practice and get your ankles moving.
