Tap Dance Music From Class
My latest session of adult tap classes has just begun so I have decided to feature the tap dance music that we are using in those classes here!
You can click the image to purchase from Amazon.com or use one of these great tap dance music sources!
In the beginner’s class our warm up is set to “It Had To Be You” by Steve Tyrell. The arrangement is very open and the bass walk’s on the downbeat, making it easier to dance on when you are just starting out. This CD also features many other great jazz standards for tap dancing!
In the intermediate class, we are developing a piece around Herb Alpert’s title track, Rise. It’s a very groovy, funky piece of music for tap dancing!
In the Wednesday night intermediate class we spent some time last night working on my Paddle warmup to the song “Come on Closer” on Jem’s “Finally Woken” album. This Cd has lots of good music for tap dancers.
Finally, in my advanced adult class, we are developing a piece of choreography to an arrangement of “La Petite Mambo” on Kenny Burrell’s, ‘Soulero’ album.
For my students, I definitely recommend picking these up for practice! For those who are not students, I still recommend experimenting with these pieces some!
