I've found that most people who studied when they were little, even if they never took another tap class, it's percussive, so it stays in your body, the muscle memory of it.

I took tap classes growing up.
The more you practice and study, the better you are... so I still practice and study all the time.
The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again.
I don't tap dance, and I don't think you can learn to tap dance in three weeks at my ripe old age.
My dad taught me really early so I could take a lot of pressure off my elbow. Because the way I throw it, it doesn't crank up my elbow like everyone else's curveballs.
There are people who take tap class, do a tap dance. And then there are people who know the dance, who know why they take tap classes. Who know why they do 20 shuffles, or 50 shuffles, before they go on.
I grew up in dance studios. I was forced to be in several numbers in recitals and dance competitions. I took one tap class - literally one class - and then I quit.
This is unusual for me. I have given readings and not lectures. I have told people who ask for lectures that I have no lecture to give. And that is true.
Practice puts brains in your muscles.
I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning.
