Danceography on Tap, Vol. 3 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Tap, Vol. 3 by Darryl Retter is a collection of three recital-ready tap dances that combine performance choreography with progressive classroom training.
Progression Connection
What makes Danceography different is Progression Connection.
Each dance includes 10 across-the-floor progressions built directly from movement found in the corresponding choreography. Teachers can introduce these combinations during the technique-focused part of the dance year, giving students time to develop the movement vocabulary, musicality, coordination, and performance qualities they will later use in the recital dance.
Dances Included
That’s OK With Me - Low Intermediate Tap | Grade 3 | Ages 9-11
A lively tap dance with a retro pop-swing groove and an upbeat message about enjoying life when things are going your way. The energetic musical style gives young tappers plenty of opportunity to develop rhythm, musicality, clean footwork, and confident performance while working with fun, engaging tap patterns.
Running time: 2:43
Let’s Just Get Along - Intermediate Tap | Grade 4 | Ages 11-13
A playful electro-swing tap routine built around the idea that people can be different and still find common ground. The witty lyrics and energetic groove give intermediate dancers the opportunity to work on rhythmic clarity, musicality, coordination, and character while bringing the positive message of the song to life.
Running time: 2:31
Plant A Seed - Advanced Tap | Grades 5-6 | Teens
An advanced tap dance with a funky groove and a thoughtful message about the impact people can have on one another. The music provides a strong rhythmic foundation for intricate tap patterns while challenging experienced dancers with precision, musical interpretation, dynamics, and mature performance quality.
Running time: 2:45

Why Teachers Love This Collection
Danceography on Tap gives teachers more than three finished recital routines. The Progression Connection exercises allow dancers to work with movement concepts and technical vocabulary from each piece before applying them to the choreography.
That creates a clear progression from classroom training to recital performance, while giving teachers three distinct tap pieces for different ages, levels, and performance styles.
