Tap Dancing Warmups: Scuffles

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Emily Larew, and we're continuing on with our tap warm-up. We're now going to look at scuffles at varying speeds, and in different directions. So, again, keeping our knees bent, we're going to add the heel and the ball. So, we're going to start with our right foot and it's going to dig into the floor with our heel. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. So again, you have to pick up your knee in order to get that brush. You can't just... do that, alright. So scuffle goes: Heel, brush. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. To the side. Step. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. Picking up your foot! You're bending your knees as well, and step. Heel, brush. Heel, brush. To the side, and to the front. Two to the side. Two to the front. Good! And again, you just want to make sure your knees are bent, and that you're keeping a nice, loose action in your ankles so that you're warming them up, and continuing to work with them. Good job!"
