Breathe new life into your classes!

While teaching can be incredibly rewarding, we've all felt our classes get stale while we do the same old things in the same old patterns.

Class energy drops way down and we have a hard time finding that spark to feel creative and try new things.

We have some students who seem to be stuck on the same steps for months on end while others are on the fast track and get bored because the rest of the class can't keep up.

And we have to balance all that out!

There is a way to deal with all these challenges and make your classes rock!

The Tap Teacher's Toolbox will bring new life into your classes and help you rediscover the joy that teaching tap can bring.

Are those tired old warm-ups boring you to tears? We've got 30 different ways to approach warm-ups that will absolutely spice things up!

Are you doing the same old same old across the floor? We've got 30 different ways to go across the floor that will keep your students interested and simultaneously spark your creativity.

We'll help you make technique both fun and productive and learn how to manage classes with wide disparities in levels.

On special occasions, pull out one of our engaging games to really light the students up. I've got a game you've never even heard of and my students love it!

Teachers love this!

Kate - 5 Star United Taps Review

"I am SO pleased with all of your materials... I am also working my way through the teacher materials, and it's giving me so many ideas and tips.

I'm ready to try out some new games, as my old standbys tend to get a little stale. Hopefully not only my students, but I will be more excited to come to class each week.

I'm such a fan, Rod, and you make tap so approachable and accessible to all different levels."

What is this toolbox?

I want to be crystal clear about what this toolbox is and is not.

What this is not:
This is not a collection of actual tap dance content - you are not getting 30 videos of me teaching across the floor combos. We have a separate product for exactly that. You are not getting videos of me teaching choreography or combinations. However you will get videos of me diving into common problems and fixes for 75 popular tap moves as well as 4 short warm-ups.

What this is:
You will be getting detailed guides, written out and often accompanied by videos, outlining various approaches to everything from warm-ups, to across the floor to technique and so forth.

Basically, I'm sharing every strategy, every approach and every trick I've learned over the last 35 years of teaching. I'm giving you everything I know - I'm not holding anything back.

One of my favorite parts are the videos where I break down common problems and fixes for 75 popular tap steps. I'll give you breakthrough approaches for students struggling with pullbacks or wings or even easier steps like shuffles and flaps.

Virtually every aspect of your teaching will level up with these new ideas and approaches.

In fact, this is the most meaningful product I sell - the idea of helping other teachers with all that I've learned makes my heart happy.

Take the next step!
