Dance Teacher Mag
Teachers use Rad Tap or Tapniquetm to improve skills and it gives them
the technique tools they need to better teach their students how to tap like they were born dancing.
It also provides clients with advanced
Supershuffle© choreography.
In a nurturing environment, wearing extra comfortable shoes, with deeply relaxed
muscle isolations, dancers and teachers learn how to trick their bodies back into natural accidents of released movement.
This movement produced all the original shuffles,riffles,walking riffs and much more.
"It is ancient and cutting edge,
I recommend this to serious tappers." Lane Alexander
This is the only workshop in the world teaching concealed Rad Tap Hidden Riffs©, Slug Slides©, Side Flips,
Undertoes©
and the amazingSupershuffle©

Tapniquetm will blow your mind and free your body.
Fast natural tap dancing is not achieved by moveing 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
Effortless tap dancing is an amazing musical accident
of the human body. It is a natural musical magic trick originally discovered by untrained people with relaxed feet who
couldn't tell us how it was actually done. Some
of them were the most famous tap dancers in the world and were self taught. Tapniquetm is the physical technique that they used to produce the fast effortless accidental sounds that nobody
sees and everybody hears.
Tapniquetm 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. RadTapâ dancers are musicians with our full weight on the instrument.
We do not perform
dance over music … we make music.
Rad
Tapâ is a state of mind with the clear technique to support
it.
Rad
