Al Gilbert Original Tap Technique, Grade 8

Al Gilbert Tap Technique – Grade 8
 
Grade 8 of Al Gilbert’s celebrated tap syllabus is designed for advanced and pre-professional dancers ready to master fast footwork, intricate rhythms, and extended combinations. This 3-disc set includes a complete instructional audio program with both vocal instruction and instrumental tracks, conditioning dancers in precision, endurance, control, and musicality.
 
At this level, the technical focus shifts to long, demanding center floor sequences and traveling turns, featuring eight extended progressive exercises that require clarity, speed, and rhythmic sophistication. Dancers refine close-to-the-floor technique while building stamina and consistency across longer phrases.
 
Ideal for tap dancers with truly “fast feet,” Grade 8 blends intelligent structure with artistic depth, strengthening professional-level execution while preparing students for complex choreography and stage performance.
 
 
This is a 3-disc product:


• Disc 1 contains music with vocal instruction by Al Gilbert
