Danceography on Tap, Vol. 7 by Darryl Retter
Danceography on Tap, Vol. 7 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
Miles of Smiles - Low Intermediate Tap | Grade 3 | Ages 9-11
A bright, youthful tap dance with a lively retro-swing feel and a simple message about choosing happiness and having fun. The upbeat groove gives young tappers plenty of opportunity to develop rhythm, musicality, clean footwork, and confident performance while bringing an infectious sense of joy to the stage.
Running time: 2:42
Change - Intermediate Tap | Grade 4 | Ages 11-13
A thoughtful tap dance built around the idea that change can be difficult, but growth often comes from moving through it. The contemporary musical feel gives intermediate dancers a strong foundation for challenging tap patterns while encouraging rhythmic clarity, musicality, control, and expressive performance.
Running time: 2:45
I Got My Eye On You - Advanced Tap | Grade 5 | Teens
A playful advanced tap dance with a funky groove, a slight Southern influence, and a sassy storyline about having a crush. The music gives experienced teen tappers plenty of room to explore intricate rhythms, dynamics, musical interpretation, attitude, and confident stage presence.
Running time: 2:44

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.
