Tap Dancing Music For Summer

The title of this post may not be completely accurate as this song by Jessy J may work for any season. I associate “Tequila Moon” with Summer because over the last few days WCLK, the jazz station here in Atlanta, has been playing this song quite regularly. Its Smooth jazz flavor feeds my creativity.

Check it out and see if it feeds yours:

Brasilian Music For Tap Dancers

Travel to Brasil tonight with this laid back groove. It’s called “Marimbahia” and, though it may feel foreign at first, you may be surprised at how easily you slip into its warm, relentless rhythms. This entire “Brasil After Hours” collection is worth a listen (and a tap or two).

Let me know how you enjoy it in the comments section.

Unusual Music For Tap Dancers

“Babylon Site” by Bill Laswell might be categorized as “ambient” or “lounge” music. Here, I am categorizing it as being a really cool song for tap dancers. With the right choreography, this song could be used to make quite an impression on an audience. Use this to open minds about what tap is!
