Though I haven’t been blogging as much lately, I have been recording a new “Tap Step of the Week” video series for www.eTapDance.com.

I’ve been holding off on announcing it until I proved to myself that I would consistently upload a new video each week. To date, I have shared three and have already recorded 3 more so I seem to be sticking with it!

If you’d like to see some of my new “tap steps of the week”, check out my tap lesson blog.

If you want to access the videos where I teach the steps, consider joining. In the meantime, join the email list and get five free tap lessons (not demos, full lessons).

Thanks and I look forward to teaching you soon.
