The Syncopated Ladies are a tap-dancing group based in Los Angeles, headed up by Chloe Arnold (she and her sister Maud were both featured in the wonderful documentary Tap World). They have a Facebook group where you can see their latest videos.
Here is their tap-dancing tribute to Prince. Tapping away to “When Doves Cry.” I love the choreography, how those taps coincide with Prince’s background arrangement. It’s gorgeous.
Wow! Love that.
Isn’t it great??
that’s amazing.
I took tap for years, back when I was young. It wasn’t until I took tap again as an adult that I recognized the value of the silence between the taps. A lot of tap choreography changed in the intervening time, making me love tap even more. This is exactly what I love about modern tap.

What a great observation!
Have you seen the documentary I mentioned – Tap World? It came out last year – thought it was great. They talk a lot about the changing trends in tap, really interesting.
