You need to sit in the pocket.

You need to finish your phrase.

You need to loosen up.

Let’s talk about three common tap dance-specific corrections, and what they really mean.

I have found that these specific corrections are a struggle for a lot of tap dancers, mostly, because they don't understand what they actually mean, and they’re a bit too embarrassed at the moment to ask.

But I’m here to translate!

Listen to this episode to hear about:

• What it means to “sit in the pocket”.

• The connection between Jazz Music culture and Tap Dance culture.

• What it means to “finish your phrase”.

• What is phrasing?

• How to release tension in your dancing and “loosen up”.

• Why scrunched toes are the enemy of a loose ankle.
