Travel back in time with me to 1989, when Gregory Hines was hosting "Tap Dance in America" – affectionately known as the PBS special – featuring some of the best tap dancers of the time (and before time). The finale featured the entire cast dooing a single step – you can find it on the YouTube. The step has been a source of study and inspiration for me for a long time. This step here is a variation of that original. I seem to hover around these kinds of steps that have historical reference (even predating the PBS Special), a little challenge (those SHUFFLES!), AND a little bit of modern vocabulary sprinkled in for good measure.

Let me know what think of this week’s step, what you’re working on, or something you’d like to see me try by leaving a comment.
