Great class last Thursday. Please see the post from July 10, 2007 for info on the Shim Sham and see earlier posts for description of basic tap moves. Here is the new step we have been working on.

step on right crossing over left and chug back on right foot.
step on left crossing over right and chug back on left foot.
step on right crossing over left and chug back on right foot.
step on left beside right foot.
slight pause.
quickly-jump onto right heel then left heel then jump onto right ball of foot then left ball of foot
repeat then staying on left ball of foot (a little slower)
do a right heel jab (slightly to front diagonal) , brush back with this right ball of foot, drop left heel and then do a right toe jab behind left foot.
slight pause

slide right toe to front diagonal (a little slowly), drop left heel near end of 'slide out' of right foot.
on right do brush back dig heel (bringing right foot beside left foot).
do a heel jab to left diagonal with left foot, brush back with left foot, drop right heel and jab left toe behind right foot. You are now reeady to slide right toe out and drop left heel repeating step on left then repeat again on right
then end with slide left toe out and drop right heel, brush left foot back and do left dig heel beside right foot , then end step by stepping on right foot.

Hope this makes sense.
Happy tapping,
Cathy

let's get tapping

We will begin tap dancing again this Thursday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m. at A Step Ahead dance studio. It is in downtown Middletown at the corner of Central and Verity. The entrance faces Verity. You may park in the parking lot just beyond the entrance. When you come in just follow the signs and the staircases around and around until you come to the studio. We are in the smallest studio right next to the reception desk. Because the studio is so small we will not open it up to newcomers (unless I have already talked to you.) There will be a forty dollar a month rental fee for the studio. Therefore, there will be a small fee for each class to cover sudio costs.
See you on Thursday.
