you finally found tap dancing from the inside out
RAD TAP®

                                                    "...is the missing link in tap dancing."
                                                                                              Dance Teacher Now Magazine

"Rad Tap® is the real, natural way to tap dance, it's the future of tap."
                                                                     Sam Webber, of the Jazz Tap Ensemble

"Rad Tap® is how you make those fast sounds that everybody hears and nobody sees."
Eve Kahn, International Tap Association Journal

Radical Tap dancing will blow your mind and free your body.

Fast natural tap dancing is not achieved by trying to move your feet.

The sounds that appear to be made by the feet are actually  spiraling undulations  that flip out deeply relaxed legs.

Copying steps is a dead end search for your style.

Two brushes do not equal a shuffle.

Stop memorizing and start dancing

    •
    Tap dancing is an amazing musical accident of the human body. It is a  natural magic trick originally discovered by untrained people with relaxed feet and comfortable shoes.
    The best tap dancers in the world did not get that way by memorizing steps in dancing school.
    Radical Tap Ô is the mental and physical technique that tricks your body into the fast effortless accidental sounds that nobody sees and everybody hears.

    Rad TAP® is not choreography, but without it you cannot do the fastest, on the floor tap that looks like you made it up.

    Rad Tap® is the deep technique and technical understanding of the isolations and trigger points in your body that produce accidental extra sounds while moving in a deeply relaxed condition.

    The  magical sounds of tap dancing are the result of movement that starts in the shoulder, knee and hip. These natural comfortable trigger points of the body combined with the deep relaxation of the feet produce effortless shuffles, riffles, brush steps, walking riffs and much more.

    Your style is the magic of tap. Your style is found in your natural relaxed movement. To find and develop your style you must stop doing steps and begin to rediscover how things feel in your body.

    RadTapâ dancers are musicians with our  full weight on the instrument.
    We do not dance to music … we make music.

    Rad Tapâ is a state of mind with the clear technique to support it.
     

    Rad Tapâ classes are nurturing and noncompetitive.
