toe taps

Audible dance steps

Toe taps are a basic exercise where you alternately touch your toes to a surface while keeping your core engaged—either tapping the floor while lying down, or tapping a step or platform while standing.

The movement builds coordination and cardiovascular endurance: Start with thirty toe taps and work up from there.

In tap dancing, toe taps are metal plates attached to the toe of the shoe, or the sounds and movements they produce.
