Tap Dancing For Beginners : How to Do Single Pull Backs in Tap Dancing

[peaceout675]

i found it easier to do it this way

[ceesayssorry]

She shouldn't have said "you are like kicking both feet out..." because that isn't what you are doing and that's not how to do it- some people achieve the sound like that but it's the wrong technique... Someone is going to kick their feet out and fall on their butt or overcompensate for the forward movement and fall forward... :\

Sara is my favorite online tap teacher. Even my teacher IRL is teaching Sara's stuff in class for some variety. Someday I'll have to visit June Perodi's Dance Studio and say hi! I'll practice my pullbacks to show off for ya. Lol!

[drikgreen1]

that's what i learned as being a pull back Oo those of you saying it's not, then... what it is?

[ActOrBeActed]

uhhh thats not a real pull back

[Mcguffeygirl1016]

yeah... it is

[RPMabel]

In the beginning it is very hard but I also have normal tap les and now I can do it I learn't i in 3 lessons and now it is very easy.. so good luck everyone

[kooljam23]

okay a pickup is not landing on the other foot

and it is befinnetily not a backwards 3 beat wing in face i'm pretty sure thats not even a step

i can do that step but i am not sure wat its called

[Koringkas]

as far as i know, this IS a pull back...and i think this teacher is a good one~~!

[hiewierock]

ugly...

[yiskahsarah]

help! I can't do it... any suggestions?

[nicolexbrooke]

try jumping then doing it

[Mcguffeygirl1016]

Remember you want there to be a time during this step that both off your feet are off the ground. That gives you the lift to be able to bring both of your feet back to get the correct sound.

[dancetheshitoutofme]

it IS a pull back

[CHBECCA]

:S this isnt a pull back

[xPinkxIsxPunkx]

It kinda looks like a 3 beat wing, but your moving backwords. My dance teacher would call it a backwards three beat wing....

[nicolexbrooke]

but theres 2 beats in this.

[izietto1]

I can't watch this

[KSCx123]

no a pickup is when you land on the other foot, a pullback is on the same foot

[garcAiwenn]

someone cheer me up

[baberbunch]

My tap teacher told me that is a pick up. i can do that.

[awesomedancer712]

u r wrong.

when u start pullbacks u start on ur heels and and then pull back. then once u get the hang of that, u go flat footed

[citrusbear]

NOO. those are for people who are too lazy to learn it the right way..

[awesomedancer712]

ur wrong 2.

[MusicalTheaterRocks]

actually. how you said to do them is the beginner way. soo yeah. if you don't like these videos than. DON'T WATCH THEM AND RUIN IT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE ENJOYING THEM. =P

[Juliex0x9]

im working on these now, its hard!

[awesomedancer712]

there r easy

[SyGin73]

I have a question... My 11 year old daughter just changed dance studios, and they told her that she had learned pull backs wrong... She started flat footed before, and now she is struggling to learn them this way. Which way is correct, or does it just depend on the studio?

[asoapdish]

If you learn them this way, then it's easy to do them either way. It's not about right or wrong, it's about versatility.

[Jazzytap94]

The first time I learned these, luckily I got them right away.

[yeee941]

Harder then it looks.

[Itsmisslalatoyou]
