I’m 57 years old. My doctor said I have to get more exercise, at my last checkup! I’m getting older, and my job is pretty sedentary now, so I really have to do something! When I was a kid I used to tap dance, and I remember liking it a lot. So I decided I’m not too old to start again! Your videos are great! I’m taking it slow, because, you know, I’m out of shape 😮. But I can see already that this is going to be fun! Thanks so much for taking the time to do these videos! I really appreciate it!

Thanks, I have a midterm due tomorrow. I am taking a class at college at 70 years old. I am slow but will eventually get there.

I started tap dance classes about 9 months ago, at the age of 52. I saw your video when I first started, it all seemed way too hard. The classes I do (for seniors) do performances for aged care homes etc, so I have been focused on those routines. But finally had time to focus on this, and have mastered the Shim Sham Shimmy. Now I have to teach others in my class 😅

This was great! The one thing that I would have liked better would maybe be you could at the end instead of jumping right into doing it fast, you could start out slowly. I had so much fun doing this!

I'm new to tap at the young age of 64. Watching you while cycling right now. Can't wait to get my shoes on and learn this routine! Fab! 😊

This is the best video I have ever found on line. Thank you professor . You are awesome.

[dorteheidecker]

Thank you so much! I have learned the Shim Sham 15 years ago but then moved away and couldn't continue those step dance classes, so it's really great to remember how it goes with your lovely video. 🌸

Yes! I’m starting a dance camp this summer so I’m learning different styles of dance and this was very helpful. Thanks

Love! I'm going to try it on my rollerskates :D

[MichelleRichee]

That was great. You are so amazing. Today it seems more videos are available that I didn't see yesterday. Thank you. I'd better get back to the basics for now ...

This is so adorable! That syncopated break was hard for me to get. I have to practice it over and over! So much fun! I love the way you break down the combination! Thank you! 😊🎶

[peggyjohnson]

Just saw you performance in Birmingham. It was awesome! Fabulous dancing and spirit and message! Keep it up ladies!😀

Nice lesson. Thank you so much. When you show the dance at the very beginning...the very first step, you land with foot flat on the ground, later when you show the step you keep your heel raised. Which is more correct or perhaps it does not matter. This is the best lesson I have found so far and I am grateful. Great music and photography.
