About Tappercise

OUR NEW WEB SITE IS www.tappercise.com

Tappercise defies most conventional wisdom that applies to tap dancing.  Although it may be true that you need to start tap dancing at a very early age as some experts claim, you can start tappercise at almost any age.  Unlike professional tapping where being technically correct, making perfect sounds, and pleasing your audience are essential, tappercise is more about having fun, getting exercise, making friends, and feeling good about yourself. 

This is not to say that tap dancing and tappercise use different steps.  Steps that are used in tap dancing, such as slap, flap, or spank, are also used in tappercise.  Even some of the more difficult steps found in tap dancing, such as a double shuffle or paradiddle, are used in tappercise.  Even if you never go beyond basics, such as doing stomps, stamps, or ball changes, you can still have fun with tappercise, get a good workout, and feel good.  If you want to go beyond basics, you can always add pullbacks, wings, grapevines, essences, or a Lindy to your tappercise program.
