Tap Practice 02

No video today - I don't think it would be very beneficial to videotape EVERY day - besides... that would make me crazy. I did go down and practice again, though. Still the same issues with my right leg, though the flaps were coming along a little more naturally. I discovered what it feels like yesterday. Lu was right in her inability to describe it, yet when you do it you know. It's very odd - sort of like a spring recoil. Today, I started off well, but it went downhill quick.

Actually, the same kind of things happened when I took a swing dance class - after the first couple of times, I'd be pretty good when I first showed up, but after a short while of dancing, I'd get worse. It's because I don't have the moves down pat yet, so I start strong, but then the inability causes me to get sloppy and that only makes things worse.

I may do a video post per week. The class is on Wednesday nights, starting Oct. 8, and my Thursdays are only filled with a morning class, so after that I may come home and videotape what I learned the previous night. I think this'll be the best setup as I'm beginning - and as I improve, the videos will most likely be spaced out further.

Tap Practice 01

While this is technically the second day I've put on the shoes and practiced - this is the first video entry of it. Last night Lu showed me a few steps just to get me started, and we practiced a bit in their garage... but this was just me alone trying it out.
