[legoman2313]

Awsome tap routine you are great at tap dancing

[legoman2313]

People Who Tap Dance Fast Are Sometimes Always The Best.

[FilmBuffClassic]

Get those 3D Glasses on everyone!!!!

[facethefaceandmore44]

And this is why I don't get tap. Timing is awful yet everyone loves it. Time surely is the most fundamental basis of all music.

[shelvymarie]

can you make a video explaining each step, I think i got the beginning the end was a little hard for me.

[alicecullenvampyre]

omg you are so fantastic i have been doing it for 5 years and hope to become as talented as you are!

[princess31777]

@alicecullenvampyre Thank you so much, what a nice thing to say=) I'm sure if you keep practicing you'll be even better than me=)

[wendyblue7]

[albertw666]

There are a few parts where the timing of your steps doesn't match with the music tempo but it's a pretty nice coreography =D

[Redsoxgurl1207]

omg i danced with Louise too! I actually only stopped because it got too hard to keep up w. work and homework(high school) but I was actually wondering if you know the name of this song? I am possibly tapping in a benifit show at my school and this was the dance i wanted to do and i can't find the song anywhere! I have no idea what it is called! if you know that would be really helpful :) thanks!

[princess31777]

@Redsoxgurl1207 The name of the CD is 42nd Street (2001 Revival Broadway Cast) track #2 "The Audition." Good luck=)

[saraor]

You are sooo good! Your timing is killer - flawless triple time steps, girl!! I just tried to watch this number in the Busby Berkeley movie and could only find an incomplete version in the middle, a rehearsal bit when Dick Powell gets yelled at for being a bad dancer..I wonder if this is actually in the Busby Berkeley version in its entirety. How did you learn this? I'm going to watch this many more times. Thanks for dancing on youtube! -Sara Regan, Sally Mack's School of Dance, Portland OR

[princess31777]

@saraor Thanks so much for the kind comments. This routine was actually choreographed by my dance teacher who was a Rockette in the 40's. Thanks for watching=)

[MizGelsomina58]

Just so awesome! : )

[gp680]

oh my gosh can you please Princess31777 make a instructional Video. You are really good and since I am never going to be able to go to NY it would be great to get a little bit of NY here via youtube :)

[shufflehop]

Hey that's great! I've only been learning tap for almost 4 months and loving it. Wondering how long has it taken you to get this good?

[shufflehop]

@shufflehop Let re-phrase that... how long would it take me to get this good? he he

[herselftheelf78]

This is just freaking fantastic! I love watching this. : )

[2010Loreen]

Que Bonito!!

I'll keep trying my shufles. Thank you sharing this nice dance to us

[jfluter]

Very nice! I took a tap class for the first time about two years ago (in my late 20s), and would like to give it another go.

[billiebutton18]

Love this dance, great job. Such clean taps. The only thing I didn't like about this vid is not being able to see your whole body.

[butterfliesinsidemj]

WOW I thoroughly enjoyed that. Wondering how long it took you to get that good, nearly crying cos I think I will never learn... NAH no tears, I'm keeping the faith!!! AND the joy. Thanks for posting this.

[lightninggirl64]

inspiring!

thank youuu :]

[charleyness]

[princess31777]

@ZanyAnton Thanks=D

[dancindiva72888]

Loved it nice tapping

[chorus8]

Love the clear sounds of your tapping.

[dralpha07]

I believe this is JC Campbell Tapping! He is an amazing dancer in Louisville, KY. One of the last of the great tappers!!!!!!!!!!!

[princess31777]

No sorry not him I'm a chica LOL=D But I'm honored that you would compare me to him =D Thanks for the comment=D

[VivaLaMerman]

great, clean sounds. really impressive. would love to see what the upper body in the dance looks like too, but this is definitely good too :)

[digitaljosh11]

fantastic tapper, the best i've seen/heard ever. wish i could take lessons from you.

[mickydeeno9]

god, your amazing, iv watched this video about 50 times :D. iv been trying to copy it for ages! x

[Groovy126]

wow your amazing :)

[princess31777]

Thank you that's very kind of you to say=D

[sosesl01]

what version of the song are you using? I can't seem to find a good version for my girls at the studio I teach at. Wonderful tapping! Love it!

[TheMovies2009]

Classic

[hajhzu]

hey its so good...why do you know this steps of the show?

[longfoot]

Damn, this is too special. I lost my sox and my breath. I'd rather regain the latter if I could.

[mvpig420]

You've got a lot of talent good job

[princess31777]

Thanks=D

[5023849465]

Nothing like a great tapper, no matter what style. It takes talent.

[dasvideos]

Thank you so much for posting. What a great routine. My 13 yr old is a tapper. So important for him to see different styles. You have some great stuff on your channel.

[princess31777]

Thanks so much ;-)

[xxxRosexx]

actually amazing!!! :D loved it :)

[princess31777]

Thank you:-)

[tammilovesyou]

i was in 42nd street and its from 1934 which means you should be doing 30s style tap

[cheesenedd]

1933

[TheLitlelight13]

does tap dancing get your beating fast????

[Dancer0999]

did you make this up by yourself. i love to tap and i'vebeen doing it since i was 6 i'mg ood too i just dont know how to coreograph but i am a fast learner. i wish i had coreographing skills. you should hlep me!!!

[fayexfaye]

impressive ... =D if only the beginning was a bit more challenging then it would be perfect =D

[crazytappin]

wonderful sounds, small suggestion, break up ur shuffles more beginning @ 2:11, ur steps and shuffles are running together, but other than that awesome job!

[smartndumb101]

i love in tap when u can take simple shuffles and scuffs and make amazing beats. i love to tap. right now we are working on a new solo for me :) i cant wait for the competing season for me. i want to perform on broadway :D thats my dream.

[princess31777]

Very cool, best of luck to you :-)

[tapdancingurl]

How long have you been tap dancing?

[tapdancingurl]

wow that is really impressive!

[princess31777]

Thank you :-)

[nathansartore]

This is a great dance that I am using for a project that I have to do - do you mind telling me what the steps are between around 1:08 and 1:15?? Would that be possible? Thanks for such a great dance that I could actually use for something! :)

[MusicallyDan]

very nice balance! i have started up tap but then had to quit due to scheduling difficulties, i always wanted to get those dif. combos!

[TheMovies2009]

boogie shoes!!! :DDDDDD

[fatdancer123]

that time step is rather different to mine you do a brush where i do a shuffle... why is that i wonder???

[princess31777]

There are probably a million different types of time steps. I guess it all depends on preference and the style you learned. As long as you're having fun with it, then it's right. Thanks for the comment.

[fleetofbunnies]

So true, i actually do a stomp instead of the shuffle. I think it gives a nice start to the step. :) Peace.

[13loodykilla]

good

[emilylengriffin]

I did this show back in 2007 and it was amazing

[justdance101]

The time steps at the beginning set this piece off very nicely x x

[HotBroodish]

Absolutely amazing.

[luxcille]

How long have you been tap dancing? You're awesome!

[princess31777]

Thank you :) I've been dancing for fun for 29+ years.

[antitoh000]

demaciado bueno,pasos basicos pero muy bueno bien combinados muy muy buenoo!! felicitaciones

[bellinhahh]

my god!you're very nice!!!you are very good!

[dotsymae]

Do those turns have a name that you did on one leg, dragging the other around?

[princess31777]

They are called paddle turns. I hope that helps:)

[dotsymae]

Thanks. Have you ever noticed that you can't stay in a sad mood when you tap dance? If I come into class sad or mad...once I start tapping I am feelin' good!!!

[princess31777]

So very true :-)

[NikkiTheLittle]

after all of the years of dance i did, i think tap was my favorite dance to dance. :]

[cndancerxxoo]

mine too!!!lol

[mysweetsmile23]

great job!! i love this musical and this style of tap dance

[princess31777]

Thank You :)

[dolphinlover167]

omg i loved this i was just wondering if you can do a tap to the song of all shook up by elvis? that would be awsome!

[misteredwino]

This shows great work, but it's hard for me to watch and listen because your rhythm is not in sync with the music....just a musician's observation...keep trying though.

[GSPDCanimalover870]

i agree im a tap dancer too and for some parts you werent with the rhythm but for most parts you were. nice job rele great dance!

[dancechick146]

tap is so fun and easy! i just started this year and im on level 5/6 out of 8 already, i luv it!

[BB415]

I love tap dancing.

It's so much fun, and you always feel a wave of accomplishment when you get a routine right.

[runwild5678]

I love this Musical!

[julygrl]

sorry. im not a fan of rockette tap. its too showy. and :light" for mee.

[princess31777]

That's cool, everyone has their favorite styles of dance, that's what makes us all different and unique:)

[aralina007]

thats awsome ive always wanted to learn how to tap dance.

[princess31777]

Thanks for the comment:-) And remember it's never too late to learn tap so if it's something you've always wanted to do, make it happen:-)

[greengreen31]

Tap dance is probably the only type of dance that appeals to me. That's just awesome! You're really talented. :D

[princess31777]

Thank you so much for the comment :)

[JohnnyDeppsGirl4life]

cool....does anyone know where I can buy tap shoes at? I would rather not buy them online..

[princess31777]

Thanks for the comment. As for purchasing tap shoes, maybe try looking up dance boutiques in your local yellowpages. I hope this helps:-)

[iatethedinosaurs189]

This is amazing, I hope it went well!

I love tap, it's my passion. So seeing someone else who shares that, aha just makes me happy!

good job!

[princess31777]

Thanks for the comment :-)

[AerobicManiac]

[silvanalvim]

Adorei ! I loved it. I have classes in Brazil.

[princess31777]

Thanks so much:)

[musxlvr2]

This would be a much superior clip if you could actually see your shoes. Lose the jeans.

[mountie218]

That was amazing! I wish I was that good, but I've taken 0 tap lessons. All the tap I know I learned from watching other people. I hope that I can be that good one day!

[princess31777]

If you really enjoy dancing you should try and look for a studio in your area. Dance is a lot of fun and great exercise. Thanks for the comment and happy tapping:)

[AlwaysmilingPolitely]

awesome!

[princess31777]

Thanks:)

[Mameychi]

ur really good

what grade are you? im grade 4 and im 13 :)

[princess31777]

Thanks for the comment. We don't really have grades in our studio we just dance for the pure fun of it. As far as learning this dance feel free:)

[XxXdatunique12XxX]

i loved it!!!! 10/10 for that well done! And you didnt miss a single beat! * thumbs up*

[princess31777]

Thank you:-)

[kitsunegirl14]

most people go thier whole lives without doing anything worth doing. you have done something amazing!

[princess31777]

Thank You that's very kind of you to say :)

[actressindemaking]

ive always loved this style of dance...i think i got it from watching old gene kelly films:D

is it hard to teach yourself tap??or is it one of those dances that definetly needs lessons?? id love to learn....

your really talented btw =D

[princess31777]

I would say that tap is one of the more difficult dances to learn because it is so intricate so I would suggest taking a few classes. Thanks for the comment:)

[brooklyn1357]

you are a very great tap dancer..

im 16 and i have been tapping for about 9 years... but i cant wait to be as good as you!

[princess31777]

Thank You:)

[DegiYo]

You are an amazing dancer! I am new to tapdancing so I have a question, is it important what you do with you're arms and hands while you're tapdancing?

[princess31777]

Thanks for the comment and to answer your question... I feel that it is important to always have strong arms while dancing. If you take ballet or jazz it will help in development. Happy Tapping:)

[EshnaHere]

Ur really good! do u do any other dance?

how old r u?

[princess31777]

Thank you:) I'm almost 32 years old and I do take other styles of dancing but tap is my favorite:) Thanks for the comment:)

[ebee4]

Very nice job! Some rythym issues here and there but overall tres magnufique!!!

[dancechick146]

[princess31777]

Capezio CG09's which have been replaced with the CG55 and CG100's. I hope this helps:)

[alphasig17]

That was fantastic! Quick question.... I read in an earlier post that the name of the song was 42nd Street - the audition. I can't find it on itunes. Can you tell me where I could get this song? Thanks!

[guillermop6]

wow this is a cool dance!!! I LOVE IT! please keep posting tap vids

[princess31777]

Thank you:)

[shamrock12]

[myzflipmix]

Good...LOL,the way the camera is,it looks like the legs aren't attached to a body

[antitrumpet01]

That wasn't the original choreography.

[princess31777]

I never said it was.

[rejcms]

all i can say is, "BRAVO!" (^_^)
