Loose Ankle Taptm blows your mind and frees your body. When you relax your feet and ankles the rest of your body takes over and you feel how the sounds are actually caused by spiraling undulations that flip out deeply relaxed legs.
You immediately realize that two brushes do not equal a shuffle.

You discover that effortless tap dancing is an amazing musical accident of the human body. It uses an ancient physical pathway originally discovered by untrained dancers who never could tell us exactly how it was actually done. Some of them were the most famous tap dancers in the world and were self taught. Loose Ankle Taptm is the physical technique that they used, by feel, to produce the fast effortless accidental sounds that nobody sees and everybody hears.
Loose Ankle Taptm is the technical use of the isolations and trigger points in your body that naturally trigger the basic moves and sounds in tap.
All of the most basic moves are found in your natural walk. These natural comfortable isometric movements of the body combined with the deep relaxation of the lower leg produce effortless shuffles, riffles, brush steps, walking riffs and much more. Your style is released through relaxed feet and ankles. Loose Ankle Taptm is a state of mind with the clear technique to support it.
