How to Do the Pink Panther Tap Dance Step

The Pink Panther tap dance step is a combination of steps performed as one fluid sequence. It combines heavy, low taps and lighter taps that sound similar to the Pink Panther theme song.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Start with your feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart. Scoot your right foot out. Lift your right heel and tap it down hard onto the floor. Scoot with your left leg and tap your left heel onto the floor.

2. Do six flap steps, rotating from one foot to the other. This flap step starts with a step down onto the ball of the foot and ends when you lower the heel of your foot. Do one flap step with your right foot and then one flap step with your left foot. Repeat this sequence for 6 steps.

3. Scoot across the floor again like in Step 1. Repeat the scoot step twice.

4. Perform 6 more flap steps, 3 for each leg, as in Step 2.

5. Move forward in a scooting motion, as in Step 1, twice more.

6. Pull back once with each leg. A pullback is a brush step done with a hop. One foot extends into the air toward the back and then brushes across the floor, landing on the ball of the foot.

7. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 twice.

8. Step backwards with the right leg crossing the left leg to the back. Land with your feet flat. Lift your left foot in the air about 2 inches. Pull it backwards and cross it behind the right foot.

9. Step down with your right foot. Hop with your left foot in the air. Place the left foot on the ground and hop with the right foot. Repeat this twice. Land with your feet shoulder distance apart with your toes pointed forward and your knees bent.
