I recently expanded the Store creating a great one stop resource for all things relating to tap!
I hope you find it helpful! If you would like to recommend any additional tap dance product, please post it to the comments section below or email me at Taps [at] TapDanceMan [dot] com.
I came across this tune while listening to one of my new favorite Internet Radio websites! It’s called Musicovery.com & allows you to listen to music based on your mood! Anyway, I will definitely be laying some choreography on this wonderful collaboration between Santana and John lee Hooker over the coming school year.
It’s called “Chill Out”.
The rough edge of John Lee Hooker’s voice against the gentle smoothness of Santana’s playing is mesmerizing!
This song is great for tap dancers because of its groove and it’s lyrics. I would love to see choreography set to this one. In fact, if you set a piece to this, share what you did with it in the comments section below.
It’s entitled “I Come Alive” & is included on Incognito’s most recent release.
Like many dancers, I listen to music from many genres. What I listen to depends on what mood I’m in. In this case I was enjoying some upbeat New Orleans style Blues when I came across “Carnival Time” by “Bo Dollis and The Wild Magnolias”!
They also have another enthusiastic piece for tap dancers called “Party” but I couldn’t find a recording of it on Amazon or iTunes that I liked. If you find that one, please feel free to link to it comments.
If you know of other great music in a similar style, please reference it in the comments section below!
Thanks to Jennifer for recommending this arrangement of “Summertime” by Oscar Peterson. If you are looking for a mellow song that’s open enough for lots of creative tap expressions…look no further!
