Tap Dance Songs for Talent Show?

Posted on Wednesday in so you think you can dance | by

My dorm is having a talent show and my friend and I have decided to do a tap dance. We were thinking of doing something in the neighborhood of an "Anything You Can Do" sort of thing, to make it funny too. We’re both very good dancers. Are there any other good songs that the two of us could do together that would be in that same kind of area? Just so that we can have some ideas to throw around.

the song We Are What We Are from the musical La Cage Aux Folles. it has a great dance break in the middle up until the end. The first part is really slow, so you may want to cut out the first part. Take a look at this clip. The song is about drag queens. Take a look at this clip:

The actual tap starts at 2:40. These performers are very good, and remember they are men doing tap in heels, which is very difficult because men’s bodies aren’t built the same way as women’s.

There are also some great tap numbers from Kiss Me Kate including Too Darn Hot.

    A group of us took lessons from a friend who had been a professional dancer. She gave us a routine with the song New York, New York. It was really fun and you can describe with your body each and every lyric.
