I like it. You're a good teacher. Steps are easy to pick up. Can you tap a little faster now that we've learned the steps to see how it looks when actually performed?
Thank you for checking the video out! I’m glad you found it to be helpful. Yeah, I can make video doing the step faster. Actually, check out our video called “Mozart Tap” it shows this step much faster, and in front of an audience.
Hello Sarah, thanks for watching the video! Although similar, the Cincinnati has 6 sounds, the step I’m doing has 8. Many years ago I started calling it the Minneapolis when I asked multiple tap experts if the step already had a name. Although it has been pointed out that it is similar to the Cincinnati, the 8-sound version did not have a name. It is a step I do a lot and is a great groove step to sit into. So I named it after the city I was born and currently live in. Sometimes I do a variation of it where instead of a shuffle, I do an open third (or riffle, or scuffle, or whatever you might know it as) which gives me 9 sounds total. Another variation is to start with a heel drop on the standing leg, still 8 sounds but starts in a different place in the sequence. Instead of: dig, brush, heel, shuffle, heel, ball, heel It can also be: heel, shuffle, heel, ball, heel, dig, brush.
