“I’ve got no rhythm, I could never learn to tap dance”. I hear this all the time. Most people who say this just haven’t been taught how to find it yet. Black and white photo.

She had a 50 year break from tap. She came back 13 years ago. She just turned 80. She’s in the studio every week.

Just popping in here to say hi!! As the principal teacher at The Melbourne Tap Studio my aim is to inspire, encourage and share the joy of tap dance with you. Whether you’re wanting to learn a new skill, improve fitness, find some ‘me-time’, meet new people or simply have fun, you’ll always be supported and welcomed into our tap family. 🌟 taken in Richmond, Victoria, Australia by @melbournetapstudio

This is a 4 beat cramp roll, one of the first steps you’d learn in a beginner tap dance class.
I’ve filmed three free lessons in tap dance for adults (absolute beginners) so you can try a few steps at home.
No tap shoes needed, just a hard floor and shoes you already own.

This is the first class of a six-week course for adult beginners.
For most adults, tap dance starts to ‘click’ somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks in. Until then it’s a lot of new information, and a lot of new moves. And that’s exactly as it should feel.
When you’re learning anything new, turning up consistently is the key to progress.

No tap shoes. No studio. Just playing with crawls and syncopation before the day starts.

When did you last learn something from scratch?
Most adults don’t remember.
You get good at things, and then you stop starting new ones.

This is what learning from scratch looks like.
Feet that won’t do what your brain is asking. Getting it, losing it, getting it again.
These are adult beginners in a tap class in Richmond (Melbourne). None of them had tapped before. Nobody here is good at this yet, and that’s the point.

Amy came back to tap after 20 years away.
Twenty years is a long time to be away from something. It isn’t long enough to forget why you loved it.

“For that hour, your mind is so focused on the rhythm and conquering the steps. All the worries, to-do lists, mental load and stresses of life leave your head. You walk out of class feeling energised, lighter and having had a good workout!”

Know someone who’s been saying they’ll go back to dancing after years away? Send this to them.

The concentration levels were definitely high, love seeing them thinking about what they’re doing as they learn it. The smiles come when it clicks.
