That is awesome!
Fantastic! Gave me goosebumps! But... That boy is NOT a toddler. He's at least 7 years old!
How the heck does anybody thumb down that video!
He is not a toddler!? he's a kindergarten boy! PLEASEEEEE
Fabulous ♥️
First that is not a toddler, second that little man is incredible. He not only did the steps well but remember the entire routine flawlessly. Great accomplishments so young, he’s a natural.
Agree on both counts. He's young, 5 maybe, but not a toddler. A toddler does not have the gross motor development for this level of skill, which is pretty amazing for anyone of any age!
Not a little MAN either. He is a little boy
@@teddycudaLOL! Yeah, if you wanna keep it real, keep it real, right? 😂😂😂
A little man is a dwarf, he is a young child. @@teddycuda
Grow up he's a toddler
The fact that a boy that young could remember all the moves is fantastic let alone dancing.
It's all muscle memory.
@@joellegreig6955 Oh, come on. That kid is amazing!
It's cute and amazing what little kids can do but are they allowed to be little kids?
On the other hand, I saw a video of a 2yr old performing Irish dancing. She wasn't yet graceful or fluid but she had the moves, baby! Amazing!!
Bravo! Bravo!👏👏👏
For sure
His name was / is Luke Spring and he is 6 yrs old here. There are videos of him at older ages in nationals. Outstanding male teen dancer. And on Americas Got Talent.
He’s now 12
Do people even know what a toddler is
@@dominicparker6124 I certainly wouldn’t call someone past 2 a toddler. Definitely by 4 you should be considered a little boy! By 6 he almost a “big” boy!! 😂
OMG, this kid blew him away. So relaxed and on the money!they were both amazing!
No, they both did great.
I hope the young boy continued to dance. He is so incredibly gifted!
Tht is not a kid, tht is an old head with fantastic dancing feet!!How did he even remember these moves?!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾Well taught by dad who is clearly a dance master!
the adult dancer's joy is the pure joy you see when you witness a once in a lifetime student. Every teacher hopes for a talent like that
He is not a toddler
@@hallori22therealone I didn't say he was
@@hallori22therealone Only the title says he's a toddler. He looks around 6-7 to me.
@@cm9241 q
Yes. A teacher wants his students to carry on after him.
As a former “Hoofer” and teacher of Tap, this little boy is truly gifted and a joy to watch him dance with his teacher!
Same here with the background. He has a natural rhythm..
Man, oh man this little guy ain’t no joke!!! What a blessing!
Wonderful, both of them. I decided when I turned 40 I wanted to learn tap dancing. My husband, family and friends thought I was crazy and kept on telling me so.
They told me I'd make a fool of myself, and silly me, I listened.
It's too late now, I'm 82 and can't walk far but how I wish I hadn't listened and had followed my heart.
A lesson learned, do what you feel.
I agree. Sometimes though fate intervenes and we end up with regrets. However! Perhaps Fate like discouragement saved us. Example, breaking a bone that could have left us crippled. Imagine going though life unable to walk with pain or not walking at all. You never know! Heavens interventions are rarely recognized. You don’t really know if your regrets are truth. I once adored a husband who abandoned me and our baby. Many years later I realized that Heaven stepped in and it was one of the best things that ever happened to us. We thrive today!
I started taking tsp lessons at age 62 & took them for 14 years until I moved away from San Diego
Amen!@@Donna-cc1kt
Thank you for the encouragement to go for it!
Those steps are for real difficult. Both dancers are amazing but that little boy has a true gift!
That boy inherited an old spirit that came with talent. Wow, he's amazing.
That sort of superstitious nonsense discounts his *natural* talent, hard work, determination, and pure passion. He’s accomplished this *on his own,* with the help of patent teachers, *not* someone long dead, 🙄
Totally agree with first guy. This sort of exhibition fuels my already absolute belief I reincarnation. Of course the hard work and skill need completing and honing, but there is more to this boy’s amazingness than that
I think this is the most impressive youtube video I've seen. The love, the talent, the joy, and picking the boy up at the end was absolutely beautiful!
Totally agree!!!!!!
Yes - but I'm not certain the boy was impressed. lol Love this video, though.
I think it is so amazing that a child so young has the interest and talent to tap dance!!! I have always been impressed by tap dancing.
Yeah, I say there is No "showdown", only L.O.V.E. between these two: the teacher and his beloved pupil.
More power to both lovely men!! Woo !!!
Beautiful! They re terrific.
That's not a man. That is a child.
Google
Carmen Peters What?!
It's a child not a man. Why do you want to call a child a man? Is a child and, a man the same in your mind?
I can't believe there are people that did not like these two very talented guys. Awesome job by both. There was a lot of talent on that stage. Thank you for sharing. Loved it.
What poise, talent and showmanship this little guy posesses!
They’re so in sync with each other and I love how they free style tap dance!👯♂️
So beautiful and that adult was so loving and kind to the little guy. It warmed my heart to watch them.
This started in africa
@@jeremylinah8078 Wrong, it started in America with African people.
Mine as well 💕
kind? they are dancing what do you see? its the little boy who keeps up with a grown adult and you compliment the man.
@@jeremylinah8078 tap dancing is 100% AMERICAN.
Oh my goodness!!!
That little guy was so cute. He danced his heart out.
Ahhhhh.....and his instructor was so proud of him. That was so wonderful to watch.
THANK you guys!!!!👏🏾
So fun to watch what a rightfully proud teacher
The only way I recognized the teacher is that he's taller. Both of their dancing skills are identical.
Talented young man his foot work was amazing parents will be proud of him
This is what the world needs more of, dancing together! Phenomenal!
That was a really long and difficult routine for that little guy to memorize and through the whole thing oozed confidence. Yea for him!💙
That's what I was thinking. Not only incredibly talented but what a memory and balance for his age.
@@cheryllundgren9685 The 'problem' is that kids are so much more flexible and learn so much quicker than adults. I see it in Irish dance class as well. Veeeery frustrating to see a 13yo or so completely outperform you as a 31 year old...
Kids still play outside, play all kinds of games that involve balance (walking on the kerb for example) and they still have a very functional brain ;)
No doubt that the kid is talented though ;)
@坏妈妈美国品种 Don't know about tap-dance, but in Irish dance, I know quite a few heavy-weight dancers. Quite often, they outperform the slender rest of the dancers...
In all probability 6 hours of practice a day. Dancer start v young and work, work, work..this was incredible.
Rhythm and talent will out.....BRAVO
Superb dancing. A great teacher, obviously and a little boy who loves it so much that he is dedicating hours and hours of practice in developing his skill.
He has a bright future ahead of him, as his self discipline won't only be with dancing. His parents must be so proud of him!
It's wonderful to see a whole new generation carry on tap! I hope this young man continues to love reforming it and inspires other young people to learn and master the skill. It would be such a shame to let this dance form die out!
Yes!!! This is America’s Dance like Jazz is American born - over the years, tap has been heading towards relic status. It takes incredible stamina, timing and skill to tap at a high level and it’s a joy to see this child fully embrace the art. I LOVED seeing the different generations share the joy👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow the kid looks so relaxed like it's no big deal. Great talent from both of them, but to be THAT good at that age, Wow, just Wow!!
Absolutely good for this young man. The best thing he is learning that will follow through his life is; Following instructions, working hard to accomplish things he'll want to do in the future and respect.
Agreed!
We need more tap dancing nowdays as it is almost gone from our entertainment. This talent should never die. I truly miss seeing the fabulous tapers that have since passed away. 😢
ALL I CAN SAY IS AMAZING!!! WHAT A GIFT....SUCH TALENT ..FROM BOTH!!!!
What an awesome young boy. That’s an art of dancing that is dying and he’s carrying it on. Amazing!!!
That young man made it look effortless. Sign of a great dancer.
That woman who yelled "come on baby" at the beginning cued the guys in perfectly.
Very impressive dancing from this young man.
I wish him all the best, it was most enjoyable to watch.
That performance was everything! They did an awesome job. And the little boy was simply amazing!
I salute those two, and their timing was impeccable.
This wasn’t a “showdown” it was CLEARLY a teacher performing with his student... unbelievable...
Exactly
And it was clearly awesome to see the love and respect between the two😁
But it was still choreographed as a duel
@@elisabethm9655 0)pommeranian
Awesome
That young child is every bit a pro. He's got a great life ahead of him.
Such a talent, he’s obviously so bright this boy, the leader also, what a treat to watch 💙💖❤️😎
Incredible dancing, that little boy is going to be a force to be reckoned with as an adult if he continues his dancing. Wow! 😃
Fabulous! Couldn’t stop smiling. Can’t comprehend the dislikes.
Those who can do do. Those who can't do criticize.
It takes all kinds of people to make a world go around... even jealous people.
I'm sure that it has something to do with Critical Race Theory.
nunca faltan los aguafiestas de profesión
Me neither!
Who on earth would give a thumbs down to this!! Bravo to you both!
I had to comment on people thumbs down to especially GIRLS on another tap video. Those girls will be him when they reach his age, start early to be good or great if they enjoy it and he and those GIRLS do enjoy it.
The thumbs down came from Trump supporters.
@@alanmorris7669 Why, just why?
Just couldn't help yourself?
FYI Not a Trump Supporter
Alan can't help it, Leftists haveTDS, because Leftist leaders planted anger & hatred deep within their constituents.. Even a darling little boy couldn't stop the urge to hate.
I would say someone who doesn't like tap dancing. Then why come to this video. I give it THUMBS UP 5 STARS ☆☆☆☆☆
when I see this kind of amazing performance I always give the total credit to the teacher, because spending time with a kid to identify his/her talent and dedicate time to make that talent grow and expand, and being able to transmit the passion so they can be excellent is totally remarkable!!! great teacher! of course is a great kid to, but without the teacher there would be no excellence.
Entertaining! I love tap dancing and it is so heartwarming to see a professional man mentoring and encouraging a youngster that way. Very talented duo.
Just imagine how good the little guy will be when he’s older. Amazing. Very coordinated
He's already good!
@@jackiebourg6869 this is AWESOME!!!
👍
He doesn't even need to get any better.
He will no doubt be another Derrick Hough…with matchless skill. The young fellow must have a passion and God given skill. He did that without hesitation or even looking at his dance partner!
Speechless! And I'm in awe of both of them. They are probably each others heroes!
Amazing, just amazing...seems impossible that a talented adult could learn to dance like this, much less a child of this age. I am SO impressed! Great job!
Tap dancing is so difficult! Artists like these make it look like easy and joyous.
Wow! How talented are these two guys! The man reminded me a little of the late Gregory Hines. And that young boy is amazingly talented. This was posted so long ago that I hope he hasn't given up on his dancing!
The teacher's style also reminds me a little of Savion Glover.
@@barbarafenner6154 Saw Savion Glover live. He was incredible!
Gregory is the first person I thought of when I saw this!
I remember when Savion was the age of that little boy and now, a generation later, the older man could be Savion and another little kid is challenging him. Wonderful to see how the baton gets passed to the next generation. Tap is alive and well!
Oh my goodness, I can't believe what I'm watching here, this young man is AMAZING. He must be so dedicated to tap dancing to be this good at that age. Fred Astaire eat your heart out!
He had to have started as a toddler!! He is phenomenal!!
Shirley Temple did it years ago
@@MalteseKat So did Sammy Davis, Jr.
Amazing!!! Conratulations for Both of you! It's really a GIFT FROM GOD!!! May JESUS and MARY BLESS and PROTECT YOU BOTH!!!
I love tap dancing. I love old people. I love children. I know there's a little heaven on earth 'cuz they got the beat. A wonderful talent. Blessings to all!! 💙🕊️💙
How wonderful. Takes me back to the days of Shirley Temple
Yeah, I was actually thinking that Shirley was much younger than this kid, when she made "The Little Colonel", with that dance scene with Bill Robinson.
That is exactly what I was thinking
America is great again.
Same
I thought of that, too!
Wow watching this made me smile the whole way thru. Need to see more like this. These two guys have such talent
It's amazing what a young child can do. When my youngest was 6, she insisted on going to dance class early so she could watch the high school level jazz class. She did every step of their recital routine and she'd never had a jazz class.
I think teachers are so special and anointed people. They have to be to have to deal with all types of kids from different walks of life and they do not get the respect they deserve. Your gift is God given.
Nothing to do with god. Just good old hard work and dedication. This talent doesn't drop from heaven!
I have to differ with you on that!
You could take 500 kids that age and give them all lessons etc etc hard work… and you may not find one out of the five hundred that can tap like you see here. It is somewhat god given talent. The teacher And especially the young boy is very talented. You cannot work hard for talent, that is something that one naturally has… God-given is a good word for it!
OMGosh! Loved it! I read that this little guy was only four when he did this. What a treat! Thank you for sharing! They are both fantastic!💗
Talented young boy but not a toddler! And to pull people in is wrong be honest! This couple have too much talent not to watch!! Awesome and amazing dancing❣️❣️❤️❤️👍🏽🥰🎉🌹🌹👏🏼👏🏼
The toddler is a genius with natural talent.
Those two are so cute tap dancing together! And talented!!!!!!!! I enjoyed watching them,and was totally amazed!
WOW. SPEECHLESS! AMAZING TAPPERS, ONE THE SIZE OF A JUMPIN' JELLY BEAN. GORGEOUS FLAWLESS PERFORMANCE. GREAT BLESSING; LAD WILL CARRY FORTH A TRADITIONAL, LOVED, DANCE FORM.
Yes he will!👍❤❤
Little ones never get tired ...especially loving wat his doing
What a wonderful performance!! I love to watch people tap dance. They were enjoying themselves which made me enjoy it even more. Smiling.
Why a person would give a thumbs down is beyond me. Jealous maybe?
The way that kid keeps up with him, wow....just wow. 👏 Bravo!
These two remind me of Shirley Temple movies this kid is fantastic at such a young age. Not a toddler but still very young for being this good.
Yes Shirley Temple and Bojangles Robinson check them out!
That was my first thought! Shirley Temple and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson!
Loved Shirley Temple!!
Not a toddler. A young boy, yes. Toddler--no. Excellent dancers, both of them.
Dagney......true. Kids stop being toddlers at about 2 years old.
Exactly what I was thinking lol, very talented young man but definitely not a toddler.
No Vicki Kim, I don't think he "acquired" that talent recently and am not splitting hairs, simply stating FACT-he's not a toddler as the post states that he is. I recognize the talent and acknowledged that, if you bothered to read the whole comment. Quit trying to start an argument over nothing.
Likehunter...lie..so people click
@@Judyp77 They are toddlers until they are 4.
This kid has the beat and has the feet. What a pro and what a good teacher. :~)
I at first thought that the older dancer was probably not going to go at 100 % due to the age of the younger dancer. Wow! This made me think of the Fred Astaire movies that I used to watch with my late mother. They were both so great and had so much fun dancing together. I loved how he picked him up at the end. So much affection.
So sweet and precious!!! They love each other and the little guy wants to please his teacher and that he did!!!!! Congratulations!!!🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟👏👏 👏 👏 👏❤❤ ❤ ❤ ❤
I watch this every time it pops up. These two fellows are precious.
This reminds me of that commercial, "Be a dad today!". Adults forget sometimes that kids wanna be like them some time. The sooner they are taught good skills for life, the better it is for everyone. Thanks for posting this video!
Pure joy for the soul! Fantastic teacher and marvelous youngster! LOVE THEM!
That was awesome!! It's nice to see something that makes you feel good for a change! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
Amazing!! The little boy reminded me of Shirley Temple. Bravo to great dancers
Except stupid people aren't freaking out this time that their black and white.
Lovelybaby heis nailing it
MASHED GAMES that’s who came to my mind also. Hats off to all three, these two and Shirley Temple
There's no"out with the old and in with the new" here! The sparks of creativity are from here to eternity, and their gift is a kiss from the Originator! Thank you for sharing!
What a little angel
This is what people should teach children
Not watching tv and computer all day
Holy cow! The little guy is adorable AND talented!
"Toddler"?? I'd like to be able to "toddle" like that! What a pair of talents!
I can toddle around with a whole bunch of steps. Most of them are unintentional, and not to any beat or rhythm, bit shuffling around all the same, lol.
How unbelievable!!! And how dare anyone put a thumbs down!? ♥️♥️♥️
Absolutely awesome young man!!! Think of his future capabilities 🎉Bet his parents never allowed sitting on the couch staring at a screen for hours on end! He’s a great example of natural talents coupled with parenting with love, discipline, focus, and encouragement ❣️It takes hours of learning, practicing, and honing every day and this youngster has shown that it’s doable ❣️I just love to see talents nurtured properly.
Oh my goodness, that little man's first pair of shoes must have been tapped! LOL awesome show both of you.
The Nicholas brothers and Donald O’Connor are living in that little cute dancer 🕺🏼. GOD BLESS
No Donald o Conner is. He's white.
Beeman Seawa yes I LOVE Donald O’Connor movies. The Nicholas brothers probably was inspired by him. Have a blessed life.
came here to say that very thing!
7 years ago...where is this amazing talent now? Would love to see him and what he's done with this incredible talent! 👏 🏆
That was dedication and practice beyond his years. Will never forget that day. His future is bright.
Absolutely brought so much joy to me. God bless you. How people can thumb this down makes me thinks that it is pure hatred and jealousy that they carry with them. Those people need prayer!
Here in September 2020. Brought a much needed smile 😀 WOW such talent. Gifted young man and what an awesome teacher
Awesome! So nice to see tap dance alive & well. We never see it any more. What a talented young fellow!
Good choreography. Kids amazing. Thank you young man for teaching him well to tap dance. You both outshine each other. Such synchronization. Great job.
Todler he is not! DANCING WITH THE STARS HE WILL BE!
Doué le petit
This is how all conflicts should be resolved and wars fought....dance off😃
Yes!
This was just too tuff! 🕺🕴️
LIKE
My brother was in the USAF band in the day. He was the first stowaway on the Kitty Hawk with Orville and Wilber. He suggested to resolve World issues....A battle of the Bands.👍😎
@@uliuli201 Charlie Daniels recommends fiddle showdowns. 🤣
@@uliuli201 Good Idea, thank him for his service. 👍❤🇺🇸
Wow! What memories they must have to complete this dance routine!!
All those who presently live to stoke hatred & division, demanding segregation, no matter which side of the mythical fence they sit, should watch this amazing & beautiful video. The talent of man & child is wonderful to behold & it's a pleasure to watch the love they have for their art; the adoration the child has for the man, the pleasure & wonder the man has seeing & watching the next generation of dancer at his knee. Please stop trying to destroy our world & just enjoy the beauty of it... Beauty like this! I was just astounded at both their talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️ Gotta love the tap 👌🏻❤️
What beautiful red hair that talented kid has. This was worth watching. They did a great job together
That was INCREDIBLE!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
This was so awesome and brilliant- how could you not love this and honor their talent 🙌
Grinning from ear to ear! What a gem.
I have entirely failed as a parent. Oh wait...this isn't about me... That baby is INCREDIBLE!!! 💗💗
Your hilarious 🤣
This little boy is amazing!!
Oh, my goodness!! Is it possible that a young lad can dance that good!! He is BRILLIANT ❤
So talented and he will go far! The young boy made it look so easy!
So many people do not have what it takes to be teach young people a craft by Phelpl
Ok
Enjoyed tap dancing pro, you can tell he loves kids, that little boy learned well, he's amazing and I look forward to seeing him grow up, so very talented.
Toddler? He's like 6 yrs old! Awesome? ABSOLUTELY!
I was smiling like an idiot through this entire performance, just wow!
Absolutely marvelous. Pure joy!
