Thank you for watching! :)
Thank you! As a tap dancer and a lover of the evolution of dance (sadly tap isn't always appreciated as much as it should be) this was a treat :) I really enjoyed it.
Good idea! We are used to all those videos about fashion, makeup or popular dances of different ages. But this is first one about evolution of single style. This is nice.
Thank you for your hard work!
Agniakachan Thank you for your nice comment 😊
I love these flatter tie shoes for tapping but I'm 67 years old I still have to have my Mary Jane high heels for tapping great job
I agree. I'm 69. Tapped all my life. Still prefer heels to tap.
This is very well done. Your tap is great, but there needs to be a major shout out to the creator of all those excellent transitions as well.
Well put together and great tapping!
Just a problem.100years ago the girls are tapping with high heel tap shoes.Not sneakers.
TZ4K32 Point taken ;)
Being a tap dancer in the 50’s and 60’s, we always wore high heels and precision was the style. Heck we even put taps on our point shoes!
Now that is really interesting! I always thought toe tap was a short lived craze in the 1930s - did not know it survived so long. Sadly it is not practiced any more today. Considering precision, I am looking back in nostalgia - "rhyhtm tap" or whatever it is called was not yet invented and tap dance still had to do something with entertaining the audience. My grandmother, who was a professional dancer till the mid 50s did routines on stairs, pianos, with roller skates and with shoes most girls today would not even try to walk with. It was an other era - today most tap dancers (considering themselves as "artists") do their stuff for some other tap dancers, but not for a broader audience. If you want to watch energetic, entertaining and well done tap dancing today, you have to go to a broadway show. That´s the place where real tap survived.
@@harrypeterwebern9222 My dance instructor would greatly disagree with you. And I do aswell. There is A LOT that goes into being a dancer. To suggest that we don't work as hard today is ludicrous. You are clearly uniformed as to what it takes to be a dancer & performer. And all of the hours spent just to perfect a single step! I apologize if my relpy seems rude but your comment got me into a rutt.
@ if i was a bug what do you to me while you are tap dancing
Very cute and creative! 😊
This one will be my favourite video forever ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
Love this so much! Just subscribed :)
Ive just started beginners' tap classes and im obsessed w watching informative tap videos when im not practicing!! And this was perfect for that! 💖
Thank you for your lovely comment
u killed it girlll that was me in the 90's😤
very nice and thank you. great presentation
My favourites are rhythm timestep, and the shuffle turn like a rhythm turn but on the ball of the foot and repeats.
Other favourites are the double triple timestep and the double timestep, I'm more of a jazz kind of rhythm... so it helps to like the John Bubbles styles.
Loved the 30s dress!
And the whole video of course. Nice transactions btw
Thank you :)
Beautiful dancer. Well done.
Nice job!
Excellent !
I wish I could give this more likes
0:28 Good old times !!!!
OK now that was cool!
Thank you :)
I love love tap dancing!!! And you did absolutely amazing!!
Thank you, nice to hear that. 😊💕
You're welcome!!! Thank you for reading my comment!!
Perfecto! Bravo bravissimo!! 👏😃 😚😚
Awesome! Greetings from Argentina!
I like Mary Jane high heels for tap shoes too so I can wear them and dance in them
Not sure about tap dancing style, but fashion is captured really good :)
0:27 OMG I HAVE THOSE KIND OF SHOES! 😱
Cool 😎 dancing.
The only thing I saw change on here thru the decades was the clothes. My Mama learned to tap in the early 30s as a child on up to her early 20s. She would dance around the house while cleaning, if you ask any of her grandchildren that is what they say first remembering her. Mama wanted to be Rockett but was too petite to make the cut. I didn't see a soft shoe routine in there, she loved to dance the soft shoe.
this is really cool!
Very impressive well made film. Good dancing. Great acting ! Are those genuine reproductions of the Tap styles of the periods or mainly just costume changes ?
Hello, first thank you so much :)
I've tried to use tap steps and technique according to each periods, but it's true, that tap dance steps from 30s can be applied nowadays and work amazing. Back in time, tap dancers such as Nicolas Brother were GREAT GREAT GREAT! We (personally me) have a lot of work to be at least half good as they were.
littlecicero actual reproduction of these past years
I think the different dances have different style and steps
I do tap so this is cool to watch
This is AMAZING!
עדן חונדיה Thank you
I guess you all created that too a shame
When she reached to the nowadays part she was dressed like Kara Zor-el from Supergirl when she goes to work in the first and second season
It deserves 1 million views
I think I saw a dash of Savion in the 80s/90s section... that's all I came here looking for lol but the rest was well worth it. Shame the early 00s is always skipped in these types of videos though 😢
Love it! :)
Thank you :)
einfach suuuper..... hui hui hui .. top !
Love your shinyclickers
I wanna learn this
I do tap too.
Great job!
Well done, super. Alan
Thank you :)
I love it❤️😁🔥
Thank you!!! :)
É impressão minha ou o sapateado está ao decorrer das décadas não está conseguindo acompanhar as músicas atuais? Era tão puro, sonoro. Agora os instrumentos brigam por tocarem mais alto que os próprios sapatos do salteador.
I do tap
Love you
面白い企画ですね。
Those pendulum wings tho 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
The first lady looked like she was trying to imitate a windmill, or maybe an airplane propeller.
fearlesscrusader, it’s called a single toe wing, I’m a tap dancer and we certainly don’t try to imitate windmills.
Omg i just learned something
Wow, you're good
КЛАССНО! Отличнейший!!!
Спасибо!
Oh Wow are you Czech? Amazing work!!!!
Thank you! Yes I am :)
@ Ohh yess I was wondering because of your name :D
What about the history before the 1920's. Who's shoulders are these dancers standing on? Where are the improvisational masters in this mention? Alot is missing here....
❤️
Your 30s dress wouldn't look out of place today. But at least you got the #RosieTheRiveter stance down pat.
this is honestly just change of clothing style over the years bc the tap dancing moves themselves basically stayed the same
l wish l can do tap 😧 but great taps👍
1:53 what kind of outfit is that and 2:13 what kind of clothes are those
Because Im learning tap dance at Soultap studio
💖💖💖👍👍👍💘
I love you
2018- shuffle (or no)

👣🙏💃👋👋👋👍
Awesome Happy Feet .
Congratulations
Thank youuuuu! :)
If some won thaught me that dance I can learn it in a week. And I can dance like (soultap ritma svetki)
Today tap dance is boring, 1920/30 is the best years 😁
Watch Newsies Broadway Production. Nothing boring about that.
Amazing! Are you from Poland?
Why would you make a tap dance video and not show the feet all the time? Cleverly conceived, beautifully shot, poorly directed.
While tap dancing is about hearing the sounds of the feet, a lot about the evolution of tap dancing is style. If she just danced with her feet and without her arms, she wouldn't truly be showing the evolution of dance. By showing both her arms and her feet, she captured the difference between the styles.
Where is the 2000s?
Anthony Terry like nowadays?
Anežka Knotková I meant the 2000s (2000-2009) The 2010s would be nowadays
Anthony Terry ok, it's missing :D
Anežka Knotková sorry, I didn't mean to start a commotion but I was just saying. By the way I think you did great
Anthony Terry It's OK. Don't worry. I can take a critic. Thank you :)))
Dancing should be photographed in full shots. Not cut up close ups. Great concept though.
I fully agree, too bad it was filmed like that
This one will be my favourite video forever ❤️❤️❤️😍😍
I love you
