Tap show - part deux!

Its appropriate that I post this on National tap dance day. It was that time of the year(er sem) again when our tap dance class performs at the Southern theatre. Last time, the show turned out to be amazing although our routine was not all that memorable( we cant help it if our instructor forgets our music......we were just beginners). So, this time we were the tap level 2 class. slightly more technical, more style, verve and all that jazz. We performed the 'ocapella' which is a piece without music except for the rhythm of our feet choreographed by our own instructor. Basically no one screwed up and we got through the routine in one piece.....woohoo! Watching tap 6 perform was really energising though. They had such a cool routine and it was super-technical. Of course, 2 tap and a jazz performance later, we all shimshammed together. For those of you who dont know, the Shimsham shimmy is the anthem of tap. Its got a zillion variations. We usually do the one conceived by Leonard Reed. Its the most enjoyable and fun routine in all of tap and when more than 30 people try to do it on stage that is not meant for more than 10, its absolute mayhem!!

Check out the snaps! You might also make another interesting observation.........
