   Jazz-Waltz Tap Routines
The old Waltzclog adapted to a swinging jazz-tempo: a rare gem. Performed and taught by three famous tap-dancers, these routines are the only ones I witnessed in this particular style of tap. Henry LeTang, Leon Collins and Foster Johnson updated an old and originally all white tap-tradition with their afro-american heritage, combining it with ballet influences. Although the Waltzclog-Routines were already performed to standard 32-bar melodies as early as 1920, the formula retained here is the original one with an 64-bar chorus divided onto 4 16-bar units. The prevailing choreographical set-up of the old days for each of these 4 Steps was organized in 4-bar units: 2 bars of the Waltzlog Time-Step, 2 bars of an individual combination - almost always including the Dutch-Hop in the beginning and the Bell-Step towards the end. These 4 bars were executed 3 times, leading to a 4-bar Break. This structure is still present in these very stylish and exquisit Jazz-Waltz Tap-Routines. Luckily enough the overall repetition of the 4-bar formula gives way to a new approach, creating very interesting and thus much more personal rhythm-patterns. Compared to the up-tempo oom-pah-pah of the traditional Waltzclog, the swing version is performed to a much slower tempo, thus allowing exciting double-time inserts. Who could ask for anyrhing more ?
