10 years ago, Just TAP began as a simple idea: to make learning tap dance more accessible, and to help people discover tap in a way that felt clear, enjoyable, and empowering.
Since then, thousands of dancers from all over the world have taken their first steps through the Just TAP courses. Many have gone on to build a lasting relationship with tap dance, in their own way.
We've made a few updates to the courses over the years, but the Just TAP series remains as relevant and effective as the day they were first released.
We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has been part of this journey so far. Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning, or you’re just discovering Just TAP now — thank you.
To celebrate 10 years of Just TAP, we’re offering a limited-time birthday offer across our courses and subscriptions. Read on!
The course is currently OPEN for registrations.
For a limited time.
Included with each offer below is a special bonus collection — featuring a short video message from Bill, along with an exclusive, beginner-friendly 3 class series:
🎵 THE 'SWING' TOOLKIT BUILDER 🎵
3 Class Series with Bill Simpson
Crafted to help you implement SWING into your tap dance practice, with confidence.
Not only delightful to tap dance to, Swing timing it is crucially important for tap dancers of all levels. In some places across the world (particularly across the USA), it is the default rhythmic structure, seen in most all tap dance classes.
Using simple, repeating patterns, we'll break down and understand how swing works, and some of the most common steps you're likely to see in a class.
INCLUDED AS A BONUS WITH EACH OFFER BELOW.

A comprehensive breakdown of the lessons and bonus material included in the Just TAP video course series.
START TAP. THE EASY WAY.
All tap dance (even the crazy-fast stuff) is made up from a surprisingly small number of very basic steps. In ‘How to Tap Dance for Absolute Beginners’ (the first video course in the acclaimed Just TAP series), you’ll learn them all.
Note: Warm up + ‘Fast Track’ recap videos are also included.
THE NEXT STEP TOWARD TAP HAPPINESS.
Picking up right where we were left off in Course 1 (for Absolute Beginners), Course 2 in the the Just TAP series: ‘How to Tap Dance for ADVANCED BEGINNERS’ is jam-packed full of the most important, useful and commonly-used steps and combinations, and will help you reach an entirely new level of Tap Dance ability, confidence and happiness.
Note: Warm up + ‘Fast Track’ recap videos are also included.
LEARN TO FLY.
INTERMEDIATE to ADVANCED, the third and final course in the Just TAP series, will complete your Tap-toolbox with the final ‘unlock’ steps to open up a new world of Tap Dance possibility, helping to navigate these often-confusing levels, and pave the way for an exciting, confident and happy journey forward.

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.
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:
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.

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.
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.
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).
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.
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 🙂
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.

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.
