Introducing ‘Tin Symphony’! 🍀
|
Hello Reader, In my last email, I told you how ten minutes of tapping helped me reconnect with something I’d been missing. Well, that small return to the floor has grown into something considerably noisier. I’m very excited to introduce you to (🥁) ... TIN SYMPHONY: A 3-Part Tap Dance Masterclass 🍀 Tin Symphony began many years ago, when I was still finding my feet as a tap dancer and choreographer. It was one of the first tap dance patterns I ever created – set to a wonderfully toe-tapping piece of Celtic-inspired music – and, for some reason, it’s one I’ve never grown tired of. Thankfully, the many students I’ve taught it to over the years seem to feel the same way ☺️ So, recently, I decided to revisit it. I brought back the original pattern, created brand-new material for more experienced tap dancers, turned on the camera… and here we are! There’s something for everyone in this one – from a satisfying tap pattern for Beginners through to faster, more intricate material for Intermediate and Advanced tap dancers ready for a challenge. Altogether, you’ll get more than two hours of classes, including warm-ups, step-by-step breakdowns and lifetime access to learn at your own pace. But rather than me telling you any more about it, take a look for yourself: 👉 Watch the trailer for Tin Symphony here. Turn the sound up – and see if you can resist the urge to tap your feet. If it looks like your kind of tap dance adventure, you can grab lifetime access to the complete masterclass series for the special introductory price of US$25 (normally $49). This will be available until Monday August 3 (in just over 1 week). But I’ll give you plenty of warning before it ends. Get Tin Symphony (3-Part Masterclass) here! Hope you love it! Happy tapping, friends. Bill Simpson |

Hello Reader, Happy September! (...gosh, it's September). I’ve been thinking recently... what makes a 'good' tap dancer? Over my years as a tap dance teacher, I've found that people often arrive with a list of things they believe they should already be able to do. Or perhaps, things they don't believe they have enough of. 'I don’t have enough rhythm.' 'I’m not very coordinated.' 'My balance isn’t great.' 'I’m terrible at remembering steps.' 'I’m just not naturally good at this.' I've heard it...
Hello Reader, Finding time to practise tap dance can be tricky 😕 We’re busy people. And between finding a suitable floor, putting on our shoes, choosing something to practise and convincing ourselves that ten minutes is actually worthwhile, sometimes it feels easier not to begin at all. But a worthwhile tap practice doesn’t need to be lengthy or complicated. With one step, a small patch of floor (with or without tap shoes) and even just a few spare minutes, there’s an enormous amount we can...
Hi Reader, Bill here 👋 Today is International Tap Dance Day — a day to celebrate this wonderful, rhythm-filled art form that brings so many of us together. And to celebrate, I wanted to share a couple of free video classes with you 🎁 Gift #1 — A satisfying 20 minute tap class for all levels 👞 My first gift is a short, bite-sized class where I share a simple (and super satisfying) exercise that only uses our fundamental tap steps. It's designed to help build rhythm, timing, coordination, and...
