The Time Step, the foundation of which tap dancing is built and the means by which the rhythm is based. During the early days of tap dancing there were as many time steps as there were tap dancers and each had there own distinct sound, with all but, one purpose..........TO KEEP TIME!
  Welcome to Time Step, the tap dance site, which is a Totally Non Profit Site, so put your money away and enjoy the rhythmic journey. There are many sections and topic in this site, so if you are unable to view the whole site, please stop by again to view the rest at your leisure. We have tried to divide the site into different sections so that you are able to find what you are particularly interested in, but we recommend that you view the site as a whole because there may be so aspects of tap you are unaware of.

 

For those new to tap dancing Tony Curtis has provided a brief explanation of what the time step is and its history in the section 'The Time Step'. This section provides some of the main aspects of this repetitive basic combination that is the Time Step. Tony demonstrates, with a few video clips, the various basic variations of the time step and the different rhythms that can be extracted from it. Tony seldom employs the time step in his improvisations, but he believes that all aspects of the art should be learned and appreciated as it will enable your understanding and appreciation of what has gone before. Tap Dancing, hopefully, will continue to grow with new contributions from new up and coming innovative tap dancers that continue make contributions to the art and pass on the Heart, Soul and Rhythm on to the next generation of tap dancers.

 

We hope this site will be entertaining as well as educational to all those who were unaware of the long history behind this addictive art. Please enjoy our little contribution to the art of tap dancing and join us on a journey of tap PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE..
