Classic Tap Routines

Classic Tap Routines
for all ages
by Bud Imlay

Seven of Bud's most loved routines are captured here in the book of written notes and companion DVD. These notes are painstakingly written to make it easy for you to break down and learn these dances. The dances included are The Waltz Clog, the Buck Dance, Fast Tap, The Chair Dance, The Military, Heel and Toe Rhythm, and The Shoe Shine Boy. The first two are Bud's versions of old vaudeville standards, the other 5 are original to Bud's great style. These dances provide progressing levels of difficulty and lots of interesting steps. Bud Imlay taught tap for 50 years and his students are still teaching their students these routines. They are the very best of tap dance. Also included is a home DVD of Bud dancing these routines. The DVD is helpful to hear the rhythms, and see Bud's style.
