Scuffles are quick, light brush steps used to work on speed and clarity. Strike the tap shoe forward and backward rapidly without putting weight on it.

Heel drops work on creating rhythms by lifting the heel and then dropping it down sharply to create a sound, usually after a toe strike.

Drawbacks strengthen the legs and improve rhythm. Step back on one foot, execute a shuffle with the other foot, and step the first foot next to the second.

The hop shuffle builds endurance and rhythmic skills. Perform a hop on one foot followed by a quick shuffle with the other foot.

A riff incorporates leg strength and sound clarity with a brush-step followed by a scuff with the same foot.

Toe stands develop balance and calf strength. Rise onto the toes while keeping the rest of the body straight and balanced.

Wings are a challenging exercise to increase foot dexterity and strength. Jump and brush both feet outwards and click the heels together before landing.

The stomp is used to create loud, clear sounds and involves striking the floor with the entire foot without transferring weight.

The trench is an exercise that emphasizes lower body strength and timing. Drag one foot backwards, scraping the tap shoe against the floor to create a sound, while the other foot remains in place.

Pickups work on strength and precision. Spring off the balls of your feet and scoop the tap shoe against the floor to create a clicking sound.

The shuffle is an exercise designed to improve coordination and rhythm by brushing the foot forward and backward. Stand with feet slightly apart, brush the ball of the foot forward (the shuffle), then quickly move it backward.

Stamps help establish strong beats and weight transfer. Bring the foot down with enough force to create a loud tap sound without transferring weight.

Jump shuffle is an exercise developing aerial movements and coordination. Jump off the ground and perform a shuffle in the air before landing.

A ball change works on weight transition and timing. Step on the ball of one foot (behind or beside the other foot), then quickly switch the weight to the other foot.

Time steps are traditional sequences that establish the beat and rhythm for tap combinations. The sequence includes a stomp, hop, and a shuffle step.

Over-the-top helps with agility and rhythmic patterns. With a hopping motion, cross one foot over the other in both forward and backward directions.

Maxie Ford is an advanced tap combination for timing and complexity. Leap onto one foot with a brush step, followed by a shuffle with the other foot, finishing with a leap back onto the first foot.

The step heel exercise works on sequence and sound clarity. Step onto the ball of one foot and drop the heel to make a sound, creating two distinct tones.

The Irish is a rhythmic exercise focused on speed and accuracy. Shuffle with one foot followed by a hop, then step on the other foot.

The flap exercise helps develop weight transfer and sound clarity. Brush the ball of the foot forward (like a brush step), and with a downward motion, step onto the same foot.

Digs focus on precision and weight placement. Strike the heel into the floor to make a sound, with an emphasis on not transferring full weight onto the leg.

This exercise improves grace and the smoothness of movements. Slide one foot forward with a brush motion, followed by a soft step, while the other foot executes a close beat.

The cramp roll focuses on rhythm and sound patterns. Begin with both feet on the ground, tap the ball of one foot, followed by the other, and then drop both heels.

This exercise improves agility and timing. Leap from one leg, shuffle with the other, and land on the first leg, often with a 'step' sound at the end.
