TD03D - Tap Dance Made Easy Vol. 3

"Tap Dance Made Easy - Vol. 3"

Eli Newsom & James Walz
Intermediate Tap Class CD & DVD
Order #TD03

Created for both tap students and teachers, this audio CD contains high-quality music tracks that were specifically composed or hand-selected as ideal tracks for tap dance learning and instruction. It contains the same songs used on the Tap Dance Made Easy instructional DVD series (Vol 1-3) & Video PodClass in an easy-to-use format.

The CD is divided into 2 sections: shorter songs, which are great to use for practicing the basics and center floor exercises, and longer songs, which are great for combinations or across the floor exercises. All of the shorter songs will repeat, usually 4 times or so, within each track. This allows you to repeat or reverse the step without having to go restart the track from the beginning each time.

The two main rhythmic qualities found in music are both represented on this CD: ‘straight’ (straight or even 8th notes) and ‘swing’ (dotted or swung 8th notes). All songs have in intro, usually one count of eight, and tempos range between 80bpm and 170bpm.

Approx. run time: 74 minutes. Audio CD, 2008. Produced by: Eli Newsom.

Tap Dance Made Easy – Time Step Boot Camp is the perfect follow-up to level 1 & 2. Featuring time steps done in every way imaginable, Eli Newsom presents simple and more challenging time steps that take you a whole new understanding of tap dance. All the steps are all fully explained and demonstrated by Eli from two different views. This is the perfect way to learn tap and Eli devotes great attention to the proper energy and mood for each step. Each exercise is demonstrated with music. You can even turn off the taps and have only the solo piano music playing while Eli dances. This way you can make your own tap sounds without hearing his taps.

The third release in this popular DVD series, Vol 3: Time Step Boot Camp combines clear instruction and a break-down of musical counts with a dual-angle view of the footwork to one of the most important and popular dance moves: the Time Step. Of the dozens of Time Step styles that exist, this DVD features some of the most well-known and most requested ones out there. While great for non-dancers and dancers alike, users of this DVD should at least be familiar with basic tap dance technique, which can be learned in both Volumes 1 & 2 of this DVD series, or in a live tap class.
