Importance of Tone in Advanced Moves in Tap Dancing

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Sara McLellan in New York City. We are at June Brody's dance studio, and on behalf of Expert Village, today I'm going to teach you some advanced tap moves. Follow me. So with advanced tap, you've learned all of your steps, so you learned the majority of all of the tap steps to put together. And I think what is really important when you get to this kind of stage of tap dancing, is the importance of tone. The sound and the quality of what's coming out of your feet, and what you're making with those steps. The difference between a good tap dancer and a phenomenal tap dancer, not only is your competence of the step, but the way you can make your feet sing, or the way you can make your feet sound when your tapping and that involves a lot of different things. The way you're placing your feet, kind of keeping light, light on your feet, and thinking about making everything very clean and crisp, and it's just really pleasing, I think to the audience, or to anyone listening to what you're doing. I mean you can think of being a musician, and when you think of someone being a phenomenal musician, it's something about the tone, and you can really bring that into your tap dancing.
