The Al Gilbert Tap Technique!

The Al Gilbert Grade 4 Tap Technique has been expanded and updated with contemporary music, taking the foundation learned from Grade 3 to the next level. This level is often referred to as "The Breakthrough" level, as it equips dancers with the skills and techniques necessary to excel through the intermediate stage of tap dance. All of the familiar steps from the original Grade 4 are here, plus many more. Nearly 50 Exercises on this DVD include the introductions to Riffs, Drawbacks, and Turns Across the Floor. You'll also find a 2-chorus routine created from the exercises in this level. Each DVD has been digitally re-mastered to improve sound quality, easy menu navigation for quick exercise selection, and PDF notes on the disc.
