I Can’t Wait by Becca Retter

I Can’t Wait by Becca Retter is a Grade 1 tap song-and-dance created for dancers ages 5–7.

This lively recital piece captures the excitement of stepping into the spotlight and dreaming big. With a bright Hollywood-style theme and the lyric “I can’t wait to be a star,” young tappers have an easy character to connect with while performing with confidence, energy, and personality.

The choreography includes age-appropriate tap vocabulary such as Shuffle Step, Boogie Woogie, Side Gallops, Rocking Heels, Jump Out & In, and the Flash Trick Step, giving teachers a fun way to reinforce rhythm and basic tap technique within a performance-ready routine.

Designed specifically for the recital stage, I Can’t Wait is a strong choice for teachers looking for a theatrical tap number that is engaging for young dancers and entertaining for an audience. The multiple music versions support teaching, rehearsal, and performance, while the choreography notes give teachers a clear framework for preparing the piece for the stage. IT’S TIME TO START THE SHOW!
