you finally found tap dancing from the inside out RAD TAP®
"...is the missing link in tap dancing."
Dance Teacher Now Magazine
"Rad Tap® is the real,
natural way to tap dance, it's the future of tap."
Sam Webber, of the Jazz Tap Ensemble
"Rad Tap® is
how you make those fast sounds that everybody hears and nobody sees."
Eve Kahn, International Tap Association Journal
Radical Tap dancing will blow your mind and free your body.
Fast natural tap dancing is not achieved by trying to move your feet.
The sounds that appear to be made by the feet are actually spiraling undulations
that flip out deeply relaxed legs.
Copying steps
is a dead end search for your style.
Two brushes
do not equal a shuffle.
Stop memorizing
and start dancing
Tap dancing is
an amazing musical accident of the human body. It is a natural magic trick originally discovered by untrained people
with relaxed feet and comfortable shoes. The best tap dancers in
the world did not get that way by memorizing steps in dancing school. Radical
Tap Ô is the mental and physical technique that tricks
your body into the fast effortless accidental sounds that nobody sees and everybody hears. Rad TAP® is not choreography, but without it you cannot do the fastest, on the floor tap that looks
like you made it up.
Rad Tap® is the deep technique and technical
understanding of the isolations and trigger points in your body that produce accidental extra sounds while moving in a deeply
relaxed condition.
The magical sounds of tap dancing are
the result of movement that starts in the shoulder, knee and hip. These natural comfortable trigger points of the body combined
with the deep relaxation of the feet produce effortless shuffles, riffles, brush steps, walking riffs and much more.
Your style is the magic of tap. Your style is found in your natural relaxed movement.
To find and develop your style you must stop doing steps and begin to rediscover how things feel in your body.
