How to do the Tap Lindy in Tap Dancing

The Lindy, a social dance, was all the rage when aviator Charles Lindbergh made his historic non-stop flight from New York to Paris in 1927. The Lindy is also incorporated into tap dance routines. If you've even taken tap lessons your teacher may have instructed you to "Lindy to the right, Lindy to the left." The tap Lindy is essentially the regular Lindy done while wearing tap shoes.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Tap shoes

1. Flap on your right foot to the right. A flap is a brush step.

2. Note that the flap is followed by a ball change (left, right). Remember that a ball change is a step step and weight is put on each step.

3. Step down on your left behind your right.

4. Step down on your right in front of your left.

5. Combine the steps: flap ball change, step in back and step in front.
