Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the Just TAP series for?

Just TAP has been crafted specially for adult* tap dance learners, teachers and enthusiasts. We’ve set out to create the most enjoyable, convenient, clear, concise, relevant and effective introduction (or continuation!) to the art of Tap Dance possible.

* Note: While the series has been created with adults in mind, Just TAP is absolutely appropriate for children, and is recommended for motivated younger learners.

What is actually covered in the Just TAP series?

See the summary table toward the top of this page, or find out more about each course via the relevant buttons on this page.

What are the requirements / what do I need?

A LITTLE ROOM TO MOVE AROUND

We recommend a minimum of 1m x 1m (3ft x 3ft) to move around. For traveling steps, a corridor or hallway is perfect.

A WOODEN FLOOR IS BEST (…but don’t worry if you don’t have one)

A piece of plywood will do the job, or even a plastic office floor protector is a great option that dulls the sound while still being audible to the dancer. We cover home flooring options early-on in the course.

WHAT TO WEAR:

Comfortable clothing that you can move around in.

MOST IMPORTANTLY:

A willingness and determination to practice and improve over time. It doesn’t work if you don’t really want to learn. And it definitely doesn’t work if you put unrealistic expectations on yourself.

OTHER HELPFUL ITEMS TO HAVE CLOSE BY:

Chair (to use as a bar support)
Water
Mirror (the bigger, the better)
Metronome (or Metronome app for smart phone)
Notebook

Do I need Tap shoes?

Nope! Not to start with. If you’ve got them, great, but there’s no harm in holding off, and then making the investment once you’ve given it a try. In the meantime, we recommend to wear the shoes with the hardest sole possible.

Looking for Tap shoe recommendations? Find out more via our resources page here.

Why learn from a video course when I can go to a local Tap class?

We absolutely recommend joining an in-person Tap class when you can! But there are a few significant benefits to the Just TAP video course series, and things that make it very special with our students:

1. Build confidence from home.

Even if you’re lucky enough to have a local adult Tap class at the appropriate level, jumping in can be intimidating (I’ve been there). Use the Just TAP series as a springboard; a secret weapon that will have your classmates wondering how you’re such a natural.

2. The pros of video learning.
Pause. Rewind. Slow down. Zoom in. Take the time you need without feeling rushed or pressured. Come back to the videos whenever you need a helping hand (or foot).

3. Unparalleled attention to detail.

I don’t gloss over anything, and have structured and explained the content in a way that makes sense. Just because someone can Tap Dance well does not necessarily make them a good teacher.

4. Clarity and Guidance.

I’ve made the course easy to understand and follow. You never have a chance to get lost, and never have a chance to get bored. I’m with you every step of the way, guiding you from one step to the next and encouraging you along the way. I have a soothing voice (…or so I’ve been told).

5. Expertise.

I’ve lived and breathed tap for over 2 decades, and have seen this technique work thousands of times, with people all over the world. Many Tap teachers (and a few Tap rock-stars) have reached out to me over the years sharing their appreciation for the courses.

6. High value. Low cost.

Even if you are lucky enough to have a dance studio with an adult absolute beginner class in your area, most group classes are at least $20 per class (you’ll need at least 4-6 classes to cover the material in this course, if not more), with private classes anywhere from $75 to $100+ per hour.

7. No fluff.

From the start, I wanted to condense as much value and useful content as I could into this course, with zero ‘fluff’. I don’t want to waste your time (or mine), so rather than give you 30 videos to suffer through, I’ve given you 3 invaluable instructional videos (+ some nifty bonuses, including warm-ups and combinations) that cover everything you need to start your Tap journey with confidence.

8. Proven results.

It works. 5000 students and counting.

Can I download the videos?

Yes! Downloadable course videos are available by request.

That said, we recommend using our interactive streaming platform whenever possible. It’s more flexible,
more efficient, and designed to support your learning.

Inside the platform, you can:

Speed up or slow down videos
Adjust video quality
Jump easily between chapters and sections
Leave comments and ask questions
Track completed lessons and see your overall progress

It’s a genuinely better experience for most students.

If you’d still like a downloadable version for offline viewing, no problem at all. Just drop us a message here after purchase, and we’ll send you a private download link, created specifically for you.

What does the course viewing platform look like?

Our video viewing platform, with the in-built ability to speed-up, slow-down, change video quality, and skip easily to different chapter points across each video. You’ll also be able to easily keep track as to what lessons have been completed, and your overall progress throughout the course. It’s intuitive and easy to navigate. We love it (and so do our students).

What happens after I've finished Just TAP?

Whatever you’d like! 🙂

By the end of the Just TAP series, you’ll feel strong, confident, and more than ready to explore your next steps in tap dance — whether that’s performing, teaching, choreographing, improvising, or simply continuing to deepen your skills.

For many dancers, that next step is staying connected.

Inside the Taptopia Community, our All Access Pass gives you ongoing access to a growing library of tap dance classes, combinations, workshops, and creative explorations — spanning a wide range of levels, styles, and teaching voices.

You can keep building your technique, explore new ideas, return to fundamentals when needed, and stay inspired through regular classes, challenges, and community calls. There’s no pressure to “finish” anything — it’s a space designed to support a long-term, joyful tap dance practice.

Just TAP is a beginning. What comes next is yours to shape.

What if I'm not tech-savvy?

We strive to keep things clean, simple and flowing. That said, we understand it can be daunting starting something new.

Rest assured, we’re here to help, and will guide you step-by-step through the process of setting up, accessing and using the course materials. We have a dedicated Customer Service Manager, ready to help. Reach out to us at any time here, before or after you purchase the course 🙂

Do you have a money-back-guarantee?

Absolutely. We offer a 60 day money-back-guarantee on all courses. If you find that the course isn’t for you, drop us an email and we’ll refund your payment.

Words About Bill

"Bill Simpson is an excellent tap mentor - having taken many classes with Bill, I highly recommend everyone to try them out. Not only does he share his amazing footwork, he brings the whole body experience to a class to ensure you leave as a better dancer internally, externally and from head to toe. From the care of his students to his diverse range of musicality and experience, he brings a wealth of knowledge to any class experience."

- Ella Lehaf, Producer of Australian Tap Dance Festival

"As a tap dancer of 30 years I have come across a huge range of artists in my time. Upon meeting Bill Simpson I was blown away by his uniqueness. His class environment is so warm and welcoming to any age or ability of Tap. One thing I particularly love about his classes is that he helps you forget what is going on in your outside world. To be able to hold the attention of the class for that long requires a very special skill, which Bill is gifted with. Along with possessing an amazing style, his creativity, musicality and choreographic range is next to none."

- Shannon Zammit, Student

"Besides being an award-winning tap dancer, theatrical tour de force, and master technician (which he is), Bill Simpson is a generous educator and clear communicator, bringing dynamic freshness to classic styles with respect to the roots of the craft. All while nurturing what I consider to be the most important ingredient - the joy of dance."

- Eden Read, Tap Dance Educator

We recognize the many nations and cultures that shape and contribute to the art of tap dance, but acknowledge tap as an African-American art-form at its roots, which directly influenced the dancers of the ‘golden era’ of Hollywood, in-turn popularizing Tap across the world.

We also acknowledge the First Nations Peoples of Australia - the traditional owners of the land on which we join you from - and pay respects to their elders, past and present.

We hope to welcome you inside.
