- The B.S. Chorus (BS doesn't stand for Boy Scout) is a tap community standard that has been passed down many generations. The creator of the dance is unknown, but this 32-bar standard was popularized by The Copasetics. While there are many variations on the steps, the format of the piece itself is consistent featuring Timesteps, a Crossover, Wings, Trenches and Over The Tops.

You have such an awesome wall behind you, I love it! Nice video
@dancewithmacy Thank you! I sketched out a Looney Tunes design with Miles Davis on the left, Gregory Hines on the right, one of the Nicholas Brothers at the top, and Fred Astaire with Ginger Rogers in the center. And then hired a graffiti artist to bring it to life 😍
I like your video, it's nice to watch you teach the BS chorus the way I learned and actually forgot! Thank you for the video! I will be watching for more!
The best tutorial ever. Very well done!!! Doin the new lowdown would also be great! Thank you!!!
This was Awesome Hillary-Marie--- It's a fact, all of your videos are!!! Thank you.
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I've tap danced since I was 9 years old but had no clue about tap history until around age 25. Now I can pass this down to my students!
I'm gonna need a full technical breakdown of those double over the tops!!! As soon as I completely master my single wings I'm gonna have this in the bag!! So excited :D
Love it! Best of luck Veronihika :) If you're looking for more breakdowns and tutorials like this, visit www.iTapOnline.com (you can gain 1 week of unlimited access to the video library for just $!)

thanks! that was so helpful. your words, and taps, are very clear and make it easy for me to follow (hard for me to dance, but at least I know what I should be doing). beautiful dancing - thanks
That was very well done!!
Hello Hillary. Your tutorials are fantastic compliments. I learned BS Chorus from you. Did you also do the Doin the new Lowdown? I love this routine and I am convinced that with your video I could learn it. Thank you
So clear to explain all steps. Nice!
fast for my level but I loved it. I will repeat often. I finally got the shim sham. slow and sloppy but so much fun. more practice. I have to learn to tap fast with little background. And it feels very good on my body. Despite a difficult right hip. ;) thanks..
OMG I just realized you were in one of my classes with Jason Sam. This is a good video thanks.
Wowza! That was absolutely incredible! I can only hope that one day I can be as half as good as you! ❤️
I love tap.
Great tutorial ! Thanx !!!

2:30 5:08 6:10 7:00 9:00 11:34 12:05
What song would you choose for this - classic please as I just can't get used to tapping to pop music
Where did you get your tap shoes?
I love you hillary

It's starting really great - with slow time explications... and then - so sad - the steps are getting quicker and quicker and quicker without any detail explication any more... for tap dancers with a good knowledge it's great, but for beginners or intermediates at the end it's to fast.... Maybe you could cut the tutorials and explain more????
Hi there! The BS Chorus is a piece of choreography best for intermediate and advanced level dancers, but for beginners, I recommend the Shim Sham. The remixes that I put at the end are bits of inspiration for advanced level dancers, not meant to be broken down and taught in this video. Glad you enjoyed the breakdown in the beginning!
Hi, you can always slow the speed down by going into the settings on the bottom right of the video. Maybe that will help you.
