Tips and Tricks:

Did you know that you can slow down all of the videos in the iTapOnline Member Center? Just hit the ⚙️icon in the bottom right corner of the video and you can play at 25%, 50% or 75% of the speed.

Depending on how often you’re practicing during the week, it can take anywhere between 2 and 10 months to get comfortable with the Fast Beginner Zoom Replays. When you feel confident in the warm-ups, and the format of the class, joining us live on Zoom will be a super comfortable and fun experience.

Tap Dance has a LOT of vocabulary, especially when you’re first learning the basic technique. A Tap Journal, where you can write down different step names, is a helpful way to reinforce the new vocabulary you’re learning so that you can easily remember step names.
