#012 - K♣️ - Groove Steps, Oye’s Advice, Improv. Ideas, and The Journey From North 2nd Street to 42nd Street.

Have Tap Shoes Will Travel

On this week's episode we're talking about bread and butter groove steps. Rick explains "The Minneapolis" and "Follow The Yellow Brick Road." You'll learn the performance advice Rick and Andy received from a street drumming legend named Oye, and how to apply Tai Chi concepts to tap dancing.

Check out and follow our new YouTube page! Click "Playlists" and then the list called "Tap Legends." There are over 50 videos of legendary tap dancers. A great way to go down a tap rabbit hole. Go to YouTube, and search "Have Tap Shoes Will Travel."

Thank you to Ryan Grams & Uptop Films for the technical support, Matt at The Dancing Fair, and Andy Ausland for our theme song!

Bucket Drummin', Volume 1 by the Ausland Brothers is available on iTunes and Spotify. 10 tracks, no vocals, all percussion.
