Group Tap Dance for Competitions

I choreographed this dance as a Competition Tap Dance for a group of 8 or more dancers. Some of the steps are repetitive because dancers are moving from one formation to another. The two pauses in the dance are roll-offs.

You're probably right, however, this dance was choreographed to be a group dance with lots of formations. I think watching is as important as listening. But, thanks for the constructive criticism. I will work on that.

Not exactly. This is a group dance and the beginning is the same step with different groups coming on stage at different times. The basic step is actually: shuffle step, shuffle step, shuffle step, ball change.

You are too old to pay competition fees. You are a good tapper. But give up competitions. My daughter does competitions and they are just money making gigs. They get you nowhere. Open a studio and teach!!!!!!You will make alot of money and love your job!@

Why do you have such a hang up about age? If you had clicked on "more info" under my name, above, you would have seen that I choreographed this particular dance for a group of students. I hope you can make more positive comments to other people's videos.

There are some Irish steps in this routine. There are also clogging steps, tap steps and some of my own choreographed steps in it. I do not have Irish technique with high knees and the proper foot action as I only took 3 months of Irish dance. So, since I used a variety of styles, and my specialty is tap, I decided to choreograph this dance for a group that can combine styles and who uses tap shoes as opposed to Irish hard shoes or clogging shoes. I do appreciate your comment.

Hi,

I haven't taught it to a group yet. I just choreographed it. I used to teach high school students and also adults. I think this dance would work for any age group. I had it in mind for advanced students. What state are you in? Do you have any dances on youtube?
