Tap Dance: The Complete Beginners Guide

by Simeon Weedall

Ever wondered what it would be like to glide across the floor like Fred Astaire or Ginger Rogers? Ever imagined you could create rhythm with your feet and hit floor like Gregory Hines or Savion Glover? Deep down, everybody wants to be a tap dancer.

Rhythm is everywhere - the ticking of a clock, the pulse of a locomotive, a heartbeat, the rhythmic cadence in speech. Rhythm is the language that we all secretly speak, but just don't realise it yet. Drawing on 30years of experience, Simeon Weedall (STOMP, Dorrance Dance, Percussive Feet) brings you this complete beginners guide to tap, guiding you through the steps, rhythms and fundamental concepts that will awaken the tap dancer within you.

A great guide to starting you out in tap dancing. I read this and felt prepared for my first tap class, it also gives an insight into Simeon's unique approach and information on timing, accents, weight change and general sensibility. Would highly recommend!
