MrWhiteBlur...I would have agreed at one time with you but I've been tapping all my life and only just 'got' that it really is all about the rhythm and although the flashy combinations are what I want, if you can't repeat complex rhythms with just plain old stamp clap heels, it's game over.....this was probably an opener anyway...a kind of warm up?

[MrWhiteBlur]

Sorry master classes. All that is is Stamp clap. heel toe variation i was doing that in my beginners classes about 7 years ago
