As much as I love my ballet, I'm always looking for more information pertaining specifically to tap. I am a firm believer in the school of thought that says ballet technique is good for all dancers/dance styles, but I wanted to see some more tap specific websites. Here, I've compiled a list of Tap Dance Specific websites that I've found and love!

1. www.unitedtaps.com . . .
This site offers a free tap dictionary, syllabi, free lessons via youtube (however, it is always better to take lessons in person with a teacher to offer corrections), music ideas, and a store where they sell the online resources on DVD along with further choreography ideas and albums of suggested music.

2. www.unitedtaps.com . . .
The International Tap Association (ITA) website. The basic principles of the ITA are to Educate, Encourage, Perserve, Establish, and Unite. The site offers all kinds of awesome tap dancing information including tap dance news, a store, tap history and other information about tap. You can register to join the ITA on there website for as little as $20. Joining allows you to creat a free profile in the online searchable database and grants you full access to all of the information the site has to offer.

3. www.theatredance.com . . .
This site has detailed tap history information and even includes the origins of some very specific steps. It also discusses different styles of tap dancing and how they've progressed throughout the years.

4. www.tapdanceman.com . . .
Awesome blog including youtube videos, "Tap Step of the Week" links and information about what is going on in the tap world today. It also has some fun entries about this bloggers personal experiences and feelings about tap.

5. www.mastersofamericantapdance.com
I would not reccomend that anyone try to teach themselves tap strictly using the videos on this site, but it's a great place to find new ideas and watch some videos of really amazing tap dancers.

That's all I've got for now, but each of those sites has a whole lot of information. As I come across more sites I will definitely add them.

Happy Tapping!
