The Physics of Tap Dance

Ever wonder what tap dance REALLY does to your feet and legs?  Want to know what real precision looks like?  Check out this clip of Chloe Arnold and Baraki Wilder in action.  

Sometimes, tap flashes by so quickly that we can't see what we're doing.  The site isn't allowing me to embed at the moment, but you can see the clip at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_Y0dNQqLOc.  It involves a mini-tutorial from Chloe and Baraki, two of the best in the business, showing tap as you've never seen it before! Many thanks to Chicago Tap Theatre company member Melissa Reh for forwarding me the link.

Wow! Great post!  Thanks for sharing it with us.  I never knew the science behind the dance.  It now inspired me to consider taking tap dance lessons
