"Today I'm going to teach you some advanced tap moves. Follow me. Okay, our next warm up we're going to do is going to add a little bit of syncopation and also some accent changes.

Okay, we're going to start with the right foot. Shuffle, step, heel, change back, step, heel. Left foot. Shuffle, step, heel, change back, step, heel. Make sure everything is nice and even.
