Like a Bird’s Wing
Stomp click chug are the sounds of tap
It has a lot of rhythms like a rap
One of my favorite steps is wing
You brush your feet out and brush them back like a bird’s wing
You try to go faster and faster and faster
Until you feel so much vibration that you feel like you’re going to fall over
Tap comes from African roots
They did not have tap shoes and sometimes they tap with boots
Tap has developed over the years
When people doin’ that get a lot of cheers
Now it’s my favorite style to do
It’s fun to learn a step that’s brand new
You can tap with music or go a cappella
Without a melodie you make all the beats with your feet
You try to do different steps so it does not repeat
Tap is one of most unique dance styles to do
And if you learn it , people will definitely be impressed with you.

I have seen dancers do the “Wing” step many times but never knew what it was called. When a dancer does the step really fast, it does look like birds wings and as though the dancer could easily take flight. Thank you for these memorable images that I most certainly will not forget.
