I'm trying to decide whether or not to learn how to tap dance. What are good qualities to have before starting to learn? How much of a commitment is it? Help appreciated.

It's not that difficult I have been taking it since i was 3 and so it comes fairly easy to me. You should know atleast how to dance before taking it though or it will be a little bit harder! Also know how to stay on beat and have rhythm. It is a really big commitment but not as much as ballet though but if you do ballet then tap will be a breeze. I hope I helped you atleast alittle! Good Luck in your endeavors!

Well It can be as mch as a commintment as you want it to be, you can practice 2 times a week or even more and anything you learn in class it is helpful to practice at home. I tap dance now and i have been for 3 years and i am a level away from the highest level at my studio which is 9. I guess it can naturally for me, but it will be difficult at first but if you pull through you may end up falling in love with tap dance

You have to have rhythm and good feet coordination. Tap is a lot about the different sounds that parts of your feet make (ex. toe, heel,) and that your tap shoes make. It does help to have good balance as well as determination. Get tap shoes with a small heal (the ones that look like character shoes)
Other than that try it out, it's a lot of fun!!
Oh and start out simple!! :)

It's frustrating at first but once you get the technique, it's so much fun and addictive. So keep an open mind and be realistic. You can never be as good as Gene Kelly or the members of Tap Dogs overnight. Just enjoy it!

its really fun. ive been dancing ballet for about 8 years but I just started tap this year. its really easy to pick up the steps. commitment? it depends on how good you want to be and how much you like it. you can take just one class a week or you could take several. its really fun--you should try it! good luck =]
