Al Gilbert Grade 7 Tap Technique – Advanced Tap Syllabus (Digital Download)
Grade 7 of Al Gilbert’s legendary tap syllabus is crafted for advanced dancers approaching the pre-professional level. This Digital Download features a complete instructional audio program, including vocal instruction and instrumental tracks, designed to push dancers toward rhythmic precision, control, and technical depth.
With over 50 challenging exercises, this level builds on the close-to-the-floor work established in Grade 6 and introduces intricate rhythmic phrasing, syncopated riffs, and multi-turn tap technique. Dancers refine their nerve taps and expand their musicality through a diverse selection of styles—including Buck, Soft Shoe, Latin, and Mambo.
Set to a classic piano-only soundtrack, Grade 7 emphasizes speed, clarity, and dynamic execution, making it an ideal choice for serious tap students preparing for professional-level performance.
