The Al Gilbert Tap Technique!

This is Al Gilbert's original Grade 9 Tap Technique. Grade 9 is the highest level in the Al Gilbert Technique and offers 11 challenging exercises. Each exercise is created as a long, progressive conditioning workout. These Close-To-The-Floor combinations improve the speed of your tapper's feet. Those working on this level can be considered solid professional tap dancers. Mr. Gilbert presents intelligently laid out work to challenge tap dancers with "fast feet." Music Sold Separately.
