I often say that tap dancing is a form of prayer, even meditation, for me. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon a song that precisely captures this experience.

If you love to express yourself through tap, listen to this (especially the first verse)! The song is called “In Time” and was released on Jazzy Jeff’s “The Magnificent” release.

I’m also writing out the lyrics for your enjoyment. I considered going line by line to explain the significance of each lyric but have instead decided to let you find & share your own impressions in the comments section!

Lyrics:

There is a place I often close my eyes and drift off to,
where time stands still and it feels as if I’m floating on cloud 9,

In that instant moment, the fast things of the rat race are left behind,
and right now, what could be sweeter, I’m just passing time!

I think “passing time” might be a nice way to think about the experience of self-expression through tap dance!
