Tap Dance: EP23 Essentials - Ripples

This lesson is part of the series: Tap Dance - Complete Episodes, Tap Dance - Episode 23

Ripples are a fun, intermediate level tap move. In order for ripples to happen for you, you must have very relaxed ankles. Once you get them in your body, though, you'll never forget them! A great challenge for the beginning student, definitely a step to work towards mastering.

Thanks, Eli. This was a huge help. I'm not yet a master of Ripples, but I think my ankles are starting to cooperate better and better. Fantastic lesson!
