Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Emily Larew. We're continuing on with our tap combination for beginners. We're going to start with counts one through four. So we just did our heel, bow, whack, we can up down, we're going to stomp on our left foot towards the wall. Alright, in our direction. So, if we're facing the audience, it will be stage right, so we're going to stomp towards stage right. And eight, you're going to stomp. One, you're going to scuff, and half step, hop, step. So good, try that again. We have stomp, scuff, hop, step. And as you can tell, I'm making sure every one of my sounds even the hop, is clear, alright. Seven and eight, we have one, and two, and what you're going to do is take that left foot, you're going to scrape on the inside of the tap, outside of the tap, stomp it down, alright. So when I flopped it, my ankle gives a little flop, my right leg is bent, my left leg is straight. So I'm going to go in, out, stomp. Good. And I just want you to swivel your arms left, right, hah, alright. Good, so put that together. Seven and eight, we have one, and two, and three, and four. Good, one more time. Six, seven, eight, one, and two, and three, and four. Good, from the top. Six, seven, and one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven, and eight. A one, and two, and three, and four, five, six, seven, and eight. One and two, and three, and four, and five, six, seven, and eight. One, and two, and three, and four. Good. That was the very next part of your beginning tap combination."
