Syncopated & Traveling Wing Steps in Advanced Tap Dancing

Video Transcript

Hi this is Sarah McLellan in New York City. And we are at June Perotte's Dance Studio and on behalf of Expert Village, today, I'm going to teach you some advanced tap moves. Follow me. Now, we're going to do the second part of the six wings. And these are a little more difficult because they're syncopated, there's some traveling wings and wings with toe hits and changes and stuff like that. So, let's try it. Okay the first one is a wing, single wing with a toe hit. So we're going to give it. Now you can also do it with a double toe hit. Which kind of makes it syncopated as well. So that's a little tricky. Let's move on now to the pendulum wing. Which is a traveling step. And it looks really quite cool. So let's try it. Okay, what we're doing when we do the pendulum wing is we're lifting one leg out into kind of like a battemant to one side as we're doing the wind underneath it. So you can add a flap underneath. And then we're going to kind of do a step, back flap, step to turn it around. Because this looks quite cool if you add a new combination or something. So, let's try it. Alright. So you can see, when I'm doing the battemant to the side, my wing, single wing, is coming underneath me. So let's try it again. The last kind is the syncopated wing. And this is just timing, doing the wing in a different count. Okay, now watch my feet for the syncopated wing. So you're kind of "winging" through that beat. And there you have the six wings.
