Becoming a Tap Dance Expert

Video Transcript

Hi. This is Sarah McLellan in New York City. We are at June Parody's Dance Studio and, on behalf of Expert Village; today I'm going to teach you some advanced tap moves. Follow me. So, as you can probably tell from my strange, little accent, I actually grew up in Australia, where I was lucky enough to learn dancing from my mom and my aunt. They have a wonderful dance studio in Australia. And they're probably most well known for being wonderful tap teachers. So I grew up and tapping was one of my most favorite things to do. I loved it because I felt like, as a tap dancer, I was almost a musician in a way. Being able to be percussive with my feet. So that led me to move to the United States and I was lucky enough to perform on Broadway in a musical called 42nd Street, which is based on wonderful tap dancing and based in the 1930s and 40s. So tap dancing for me is something I'm really, really passionate about and I love being able to pass that on to kids and to other people who are interested in it.
