A Comprehensive Study of Riffs Video Download

A Comprehensive Study of Riffs by Al Gilbert is a systematic study of riff technique for intermediate and advanced tap dancers.
 
Created as a companion to Al Gilbert’s Grades 4–9 Tap Syllabus, this material begins with the basic “nuts and bolts” of each step and develops them through multiple progressions. From the basic 2-Tap Riff through 16-Tap Riff Walks, the material is broken down into clear, easy-to-teach sections.
 
Designed for Grades 5 and up, these exercises are especially useful during the center-floor portion of tap class. The progressive work helps dancers strengthen the feet and ankles while developing the control, articulation, rhythm, clarity, and crispness needed for strong tap sounds.
