Danceography on Tap, Vol. 5 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Tap, Vol. 5 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
Game of Fun - Low Intermediate Tap | Grade 3 | Ages 9-11
A lively retro-swing tap dance built around enjoying life and not worrying about what others think. The upbeat musical style gives young tappers plenty of opportunity to develop rhythm, musicality, clean footwork, and confident performance while connecting with a positive, carefree message.
Running time: 2:27
For Once In My Life - Intermediate Tap | Grade 4 | Ages 11-13
A fresh take on a familiar R&B classic, combining its recognizable feel with a high-energy pop-reggaeton groove. The choreography gives intermediate tappers the opportunity to work on rhythmic clarity, musicality, coordination, and strong performance quality while enjoying a lively contemporary arrangement.
Running time: 2:43
Drip Drop - Advanced Tap | Teens
A smooth, relaxed advanced tap dance built around acoustic guitar, a steady backbeat, and an easygoing coffeehouse-style groove. The laid-back musical feel creates an interesting contrast with the intricate tap patterns, challenging experienced dancers to maintain rhythmic precision, control, musicality, and understated performance quality.
Running time: 2:40

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.
