tapping away!

I just bought a pair of flexible tap shoes at Golden Landmark today.. and they're quite exp.! Actually there're quite a number of online lessons on both the basic and more advanced tap dancing techniques like dig, shuffle, stomp, waves, single-time-step etc.. and i'm having fun experimenting with those taps
Maybe the floor for tap dancing has to be very smooth so it's easier to slide and i still havent found this kinda floor to prac yet.. Just now while learning the shuffle technique in front of my com. i had accidently left marks on the floor.. oops and when i noticed that, it was already too late.. haha they're quite significant marks but luckily i could remove some by wiping real hard.. i hope it wont be discovered, else i would be dead
From watching the performance videos, i think tap-dancing is one of the more versatile techniques as they can be incorporated into many other genres of dance like hip-hop, jazz, even ballet
and i just found this guy, Tom Chambers who tap danced with those percussions.. amazing and highly entertaining!
yea and the famous Riverdance is just superb!
