"You decide on a rhythmic line. He [Medler] used to say, ‘the form follows the function.’ Dance comes from what we need to do to execute the sound."

- Michelle Dorrance, quoting her teacher Gene Medler of the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble, full article here (via danceismusic)

Zack - “Butterfly” - Tap

I think Zack’s tap is very rhythmic at heart and I really like that about him. The two tappers have such different approaches to solos this year it’s impossible to compare them. However, while I’m impressed by Zack’s improv solo’s, at this point I really want to see what he can do when he really thinks about the steps in advance like Valerie. I think the improv was cool the first time, and I still love Zack, I just want to see more! I would really like to see a wider variety of moves from Zack because I know he can do them!

I have a goal to be a holder of multiple professional degrees and also be the best tap dancer I can be, and learn from some of the best. I am determined to accomplish this, and I will NEVER give up, no matter how many times I mess up or fail in the dance studio or in the classroom, or how many times people try to get me to quit, I WILL NOT BE DETERRED. Thanks to the great @jayjan300 for this post; this is exactly what I needed. #Repost from @jayjan300 “Saw this and wanted to share” via @PhotoRepost_app

Michelle Dorrance is a monster. I love her physicality when she dances. She is pushing the boundaries of tap with her company Dorrance Dance…. Bahh I cant…
