Description

According to Gregory Hines, one of the worst kept secrets for tap dancers is that we steal steps! Join me Simeon Weedall (Dorrance Dance, Percussive Feet, STOMP NYC & London, About Time Tap Co.) on this tap dancing course. I have spent thirty-one years of my life as a tap dancer and throughout my journey so far, nothing has inspired me more than the masters of tap. It is entirely thanks to these amazing people that I am able to do what I do today. We are standing on the shoulders of giants. In this course, I will take you through some of the steps that I have stolen over the years - created by the masters of tap. Learn from Bill Robinson AKA Mr Bojangles, John Bubbles - The Father of Rhythm Tap and other greats such as Teddy Hale, Chuck Green, Jimmy Slyde and Gregory Hines. I can think no better way to develop as a tap dancer than to learn from the best. These steps include complex rhythm, weight change and dynamic combinations that will change the way you dance for the better. I will also discuss and teach how it is that I go about stealing steps (an important part of the art form), so you can go ahead and become a step thief yourself.
