The Al Gilbert Tap Technique!

This is Al Gilbert’s original Grade 7 Tap Technique. There are OVER 50 Exercises on this CD that are designed to utilize the Close-To-The-Floor training from grade 6. At this point, your dancers are definitely at a solid, advanced, pre-pro level in tap dancing. Close-to-the-floor combinations such as Heel Shuffle, Heel Scuffle, and Heel Riffle are included here. Also, Al digs deep into riffs with Syncopated 7-Tap Riff, the Riff Traveling Time Step, and 8, 12, & 14-Tap Riff Walks. Many wings and pullback combinations to further strengthen your dancers' ability to “Nerve Tap.”
