I need help finding songs for tap ages 4-12. Any ideas?

Question

I'm 14 years old and I am helping at a Summer dance camp.

Since only one teacher at my studio can tap ( and she is on summer vacation) I am teaching two tap classes.

The first one is ages 4-6 and the second class is 7-12. I have assisted a little kids tap class before so I know what I steps to teach them I just don't have any upbeat, childish songs for them to tap to.

If you have ANY songs that at all might help it would be greatly apprecitated.

Answer 1

"Soak up the Sun"

"ABC,123"

"Hippi, hippi shakes"

"Walking on Sunshine"

will you please answer mine?

Answer 2

At our studio our kids tapped to "Yakety Yak" since our recital was 50's style. Our 7-9 group did a class practice to the Pink Panther Theme Song. We've done, "Singing in the Rain", "Rock and the Clock", and "Greased Lightning" for the boys. " Tuttti Fruity", Whole lot of Shakin' " for our 5-7 group. We did an advanced tap to a song from 42nd street but I don't the song, since it doesn't have words.

Hope I've gave you some ideas.

Hello!! I hope that I can help you a little. Go down to your local library they should have music CD's that you can take out for two to three weeks.

Ideas for music for 4-6 yr old dance class-Barney, Dora, Sing Along Songs, Disney, Backyardians, Doodlebops, Etc.

Ideas for music for 7-12 yr old dance class Kids Bop, Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale, High School Musical, Lastest Pop Songs, Etc.

I hope that I helped you out a little.

Answer 4

awww what would be really cute is the 4-6 class doing it to the happy feet song. i cant remember what is called but its like jump and move and slide or something like that and it would work great. and i bet they would all know it too! if you hear the song u will know wut im talking about.

Good Luck!

Answer 5

for tap, i would do something more classic like rhythm of the Ritz by taco, or tutti frutti, come fly with me, something like that. they are easy to choreograph. for the 4-6 year olds, you could do cute songs like ones from sesame street or barney or veggie tales

hope that helps :)
