Video Transcript

" Hi! Thanks for joining me here at expertvillage.com. My name is Connie Hale. Today, we’re working on some tap moves, and we’re going to do something that’s a little more intermediate today. Not an intermediate tap, we’re not necessarily a beginner; it’s what’s called an Manhattan. I’m going to demonstrate it first, and then we’ll break it down for you. Alright, what did I just do? Let’s say it first. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Lot of drops in there. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop, f-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Alright, let’s break that down. Here we go, starting with you right foot let’s F-lap, drop, drop, switch the feet, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Alright, let’s break that down again. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop, f-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. I’m going to go ahead and turn around so you can follow me. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop, f-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. A lot of weight transfer. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop, f-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Let’s face that to the side. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop, f-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Again, this is called a Manhattan. If you can’t say it you can’t do it. F-lap, drop, drop, brush, drop, hit, drop. Let’s bring that up to speed so you can hear the actual sounds. You can also do that in a circle traveling, and it would look like this. Moving in a circle. Alright, thanks for learning a Manhattan. "
