tap dance

but I remember liking it a lot.. and it was a damn good workout!

I had planned on taking this as a PE credit this semester at school but the class was full. I am taking modern dance instead. I will have to see if I can afford to take this outside of school or maybe have to take it anothe semester.

I think i did tap for a little while when i was young. I have no skills but it might be fun to learn.

From the age of 2 to 18, I had tap dancing lessons….despite the fact that I weighed nearly 300 lbs during my teenage years…...I could shuffle ball change with the best of em!

My mom signed me up because I was born with a tumor on my right eye that led to me having the eye removed. The doctors told her that dance classes would help me improve my coordination (not quite sure how, but I digress…)

The last part of my “career” in dance (lol), I took private lessons with “Miss Patty”—a former Rockette that chain smoked and swore like a sailor. Sigh I miss those days! Last I heard, she got her Cosmetology certificate and was doing bouffants in the next town over….Tap dancing, it seems, has gone the way of the dodo!

Now I want to try again! I would love to start a Gay and Lesbian Tap Troupe here in Montreal! Any takers?

but I’m old-school. I seriously need some updating!!

-Where?

i run. a friend of mine is big into dance and musical theatre, and he thought it’d be fun if he signed me up for his tap/jazz class. its an advanced class and i’d never danced a day in my life.

i’ve been doing it for a year, and i am now the best tapdancer in my class. i’ve never found something i’ve been so passionate about. and it came at the perfect time in my life…i think i’m going to be a dancer for my lifelong career.

tapdancing is outrageous, but i think you either love it or you don’t. it’s full of energy and passion and i STRONGLY recommend it.

I took tap for a few months for a play and ever since I’ve been tapping in one form or another. It’s gone from being my expression of excitement (usually a backwards or forwards rolling tap) to my way to show off (42nd street break into our local special, the Cambria Break) and finally it’s even managed to become my nervous tick (simple shuffles)

Never has something grown to be so integral to my life in so short a time.

tap dancing, now that is something i would love to do. not like i have’nt tryrd it allready(i was young).
the shoes r so kl. :P

I had only ever seen tap dancing on the old classic films; never had I witnessed it before in real life. Either way, I still grew very fond of it. Not until recently did it happen upon my mind that I myself could learn to do it! So (after a long period of procrastinating time) I finally bought some beginner’s tap dancing shoes and a video (haha). Two weeks ago, I began practicing tap on a very small piece of wood laid down on my carpeted bedroom floor. The sheet of wood is actually the lid to a wooden chest (pathetic). It’s much too small, and I shall have to go out sometime and buy some bigger plywood. So far, I love tap dancing; but, of course, I have a long, tedious path before me. It’s a great hobby (if one would like to call it that). I just hope it won’t become another one of those interests of mine that I’m at first very passionate about; but, over time, soon let it disappear into oblivion and apathy. I highly doubt this, though: tap dancing’s grand!
