This video is all about starting at the beginning—clear breakdowns, steady rhythm, and time to really settle into the basics. Watch once, then try it through. Come back as many times as you need.

This is the refreshed version of our First Saturday Live Class (1/10) The tap audio didn’t come through clearly in the original recording, so this updated class gives you clean sound and clear breakdowns. Enjoy and tap away! ✨

This week we’re playing with paradiddles and Shirley Temples—a fun combo that’s slightly challenging for beginners. Take it at your own pace: even pulling one step from the choreography counts. If you’re feeling good and it’s doable, go for the whole phrase. Advanced beginners—repeat, repeat, repeat. That’s where the magic happens. 💥

Technique and progressions working through shuffles, flaps, and cramp rolls with clear breakdowns and repeatable drills. Designed to help you build sound, coordination, and confidence at your own pace.

In this special makeup class, we review key fundamentals, take time to clean up the details, and then move right into fun, jazzy choreography to put everything into practice.

In this live Zoom you’ll find shuffle hops, lots of weight exchange, and focused foot-strengthening, all broken down slowly and clearly for beginners. We take our time with each step, talk through where the weight goes, and build things piece by piece so nothing feels rushed or overwhelming.

Today we started with the single time step, breaking it down slowly and clearly. This step brings together a stomp, flap, and ball change, giving you a solid foundation for rhythm, weight shifts, and sound clarity. Spend a little time practicing this one—it will show up in Wednesday’s live Zoom class (no pressure 😉).

We worked through paradiddles, cramp rolls, crawls, and scuffs, focusing on weight shifts, clarity, and really using and articulating those feet.

In this class, we continue building strong foundations through a short combo featuring the Buffalo step and a single time step. The focus is on clarity, weight shifts, and musical phrasing as we keep moving forward together.

Today we worked on simple shuffle progressions moving into the buffalo step and we started working on Maxi Fords, continuing to build strength, clarity, and coordination through shuffle-based steps.

Wednesday’s video is up — Flap Progressions 👞✨ Today we’re working on flap progressions, focusing on flap heels, Shirley Temples, and running flaps to build clarity, control, and strength.

Monday’s class builds on the tap time step 👞✨ This week we continued reviewing the single time step, then moved into double and triple time steps, focusing on clarity, rhythm, and control as the patterns evolve.

Shuffles, buffalo, and time steps on deck—details, rhythm, and that good old tap logic!

Saturday Live Class Lots of flaps and a deep dive into the double time step, focusing on rhythm, clarity, and clean weight changes. A fun, musical class with strong foundations and options for advanced beginners.

These little rhythmic phrases are a rhythm tap essential. They strengthen timing, control, and help you really sit in the sound — not rush past it.

Today’s short tutorial focuses on time step progressions, adding the Military Time Step while working on rhythm, weight exchange, and staying light on the feet. We zoom in on quick, clean shuffles and controlled transitions to help strengthen clarity, timing, and sound. Perfect for repeating, refining, and building confidence in your rhythm.

Grape vines ✔️ triple time steps ✔️ and a big reminder to stay light on our feet!

Today we’re adding a slide to our time steps — a simple add-on that gives the step more texture, weight, and a really satisfying sound. The key focus here is control and placement. The slide isn’t about speed; it’s about letting the foot travel smoothly and land with intention. When you connect it to a solid time step, it suddenly feels musical instead of mechanical.

This combo is challenging yet very doable, especially if your time steps are feeling solid. If it feels tricky, take it slowly, listen to the sound, and break it down in sections. Rewatching and repeating will really help this one settle into your body.

Today we’re working on drawbacks — that great brush-back sound that really defines the step. It’s also a fantastic traveling step. One of those steps that looks quite challenging, but once you break it down, it’s very doable.

Today we worked on a short combo that included the Cincinnati tap step—a classic step that really helps build coordination, timing, and traveling across the floor. The Cincinnati has a great rhythmic pattern and a smooth, swinging feel when it’s done right.

In this live class we focused on rhythm, clarity, and control. We worked on drawbacks, explored paradiddles with a fun tap twist, and drilled lots of flaps to keep the feet light and musical. This class is all about building clean sounds and strong rhythm, while letting the steps start to travel and dance a bit more. These foundational steps may look flashy, but they’re really about timing, balance, and making the rhythm speak.

Working on drawbacks, with lots of shuffles and Cincinnatis to really drive the rhythm home. Repeat the combo a few times and feel it settle into your feet.

This week’s combo dives into shuffle ball changes, single time steps with a hop, and lots of flaps to build speed, control, and musicality. A fun challenge with a strong rhythmic groove—don’t be afraid to slow it down and make it yours

This session is all about dialing in your flap variations—flap heels, flap hops, and running flaps—with a focus on control, clarity, and speed. We break each step down slowly so you can really understand the mechanics, timing, and weight shifts… then gradually build it up and push the tempo. Perfect for sharpening technique while getting more comfortable moving faster without losing control.

This week we’re working on pullbacks—a great step for building strength, control, and clear sound. We’ll start sitting in a chair, holding on for support to really understand the mechanics, then bring it up to standing on your own. If you already know them, this is a perfect chance to clean them up and make them stronger. Take your time, rewind, and let it sink in 👞✨

We broke down pullbacks and cramp rolls, then worked them into a fun combo. Start slow, focus on clean sounds, and build up your speed. Rewind and repeat as needed!

In this short combo, we start building into a Maxie Ford to get comfortable with the rhythm and flow, then build into a Maxie Ford with a pullback for an added challenge. We break it down slowly first, focusing on timing, weight shifts, and clean sounds. A great drill for control, coordination, and adding a little power to your dancing.

In this lesson we’re diving into shuffles—really taking the time to get comfortable with the weight exchange and how the movement flows through your body. We’ll also start exploring shuffle hops, adding that extra layer of coordination and control while keeping everything relaxed and grounded. Take your time with this one—rewind, repeat, and let it settle into your body. This is where your foundation gets strong 💛

We worked through foundational technique and a short combo—perfect for building confidence, clarity, and rhythm. Take your time, rewind as needed, and enjoy dancing through it at your own pace.
