I’ll be honest—I originally bought my current tap shoes purely for aesthetic reasons (gold ✨ and a little heel? yes please). I love the shoes themselves, but the taps that came on them aren’t giving me the sound I’m looking for. So I just ordered a set of Bloch Techno taps to switch out the actual taps—we’ll see how it goes! I can’t wait to hear, feel, and experience the difference. The taps really do matter. That said, these not-great taps have probably made me a little stronger, since I’ve had to work extra hard to get the sound I want 😅. But better taps should let the sound come from technique and musicality, not force. For my beginners: I know you may not want to invest in expensive shoes right away—and that’s totally fine. Starting with something affordable from a solid brand like Bloch or Capezio can really help. The quality of the taps truly does make a difference. Trust me—your ears (and your confidence) will thank you 👞💛 And yes… start with a good, affordable shoe for sound—unfortunately they usually only come in black or tan. When the taps are basic but your personality is not 😏(Yes, these were spray-painted.) follow this link for example of good affordable basic taps https://us.blochworld.com/products/ladies-dance-now-student-jazz-tap-shoes-black-synthetic-leather?variant=31741147054179&_gsid=ZsVHUSuJvWCQ&utm_source=chatgpt.com

Hi everyone 🤍 I wanted to take a moment to say how excited I am to dance with you all as we get ready to start class. I’ve already had some great questions come in — especially around level — so I wanted to address that clearly. This class is truly designed for beginners and returning dancers. We’ll start with real basics, move at a steady pace, and I’ll be very intentional about breaking things down clearly. I’ll also get a feel for everyone’s level as we go and adapt so all students feel supported. If there ends up being a mix of levels, I’ll offer two versions of the combos — one for true beginners and one slightly more advanced — so everyone can work at a pace that feels right. For now, we’ll be meeting live on Saturdays, and I’ll be sharing the Zoom link soon. As a reminder, all live classes will be recorded and saved so you can revisit them anytime. Thank you so much for being here — I’m really looking forward to dancing together 💃🤍
