February: A Tap Music Playlist for a Productive Month

By Terrence TapsFebruary 03, 2020

February Tap Music Playlist

Welcome back tap dancers!

When I began compiling songs for this list I realized February is quite a busy month.

February is:

*Black History month here in the U.S. and...

*when we recognize Groundhog Day. (I included a song from the movie by that name.)

*when we celebrate love (and chocolate) with Valentines Day which also happens to be...

*when we celebrate Gregory Hines' birthday.

All of this in a month that is less than 30 days long & Presidents' Day is even in there somewhere.

I hope you have as much fun tap dancing to this eclectic tap song playlist as I did pulling it together!

Tap songs in this playlist include:

"Glory (From the Motion Picture Selma)" - Common, John Legend

"Drunks (From the Motion Picture Groundhog Day)" - George Fenton

"Maple Leaf Rag" - Eubie Blake (Born February 7, 1887)

"Doctor Jazz (From Jelly's Last Jam) " - Jelly Roll Morton & Gregory Hines (February 14, 1946)

"Magalenha" - Sergio Mendes (February 11, 1941)

"Let's Groove" - Earth, Wind, & Fire

"On Our Own (From the Ghostbusters 2 Soundtrack)" - Bobby Brown (February 5, 1969)

"I Wanna Be Down" - Brandy (February 11, 1979)

"Chariot" - Gavin Degraw (February 4, 1977)

"Say Hey (I Love You) From the Motion Picture Valentine's Day" by Michael Franti & Spearhead

Try something new this month. And, yes, tap dancing to new music totally counts!
