Learn Tap Steps from Beginner to Advanced

  • This tap dictionary is an excellent student and tap teacher resource for learning beginner tap steps all the way through advanced tap moves.
  • This dictionary is a great tool for learning tap dance steps, but it’s not a replacement for actual tap dance lessons which go into detail about technique and move you from learning steps to actually tap dancing.
  • The beginner tap steps (labeled L1) are fairly easy to learn and do while the intermediate tap moves (labeled L3) will give you more of a challenge. The advanced tap steps (labeled L5 and above) will really push you.
