#TappyFriday! Love, the Syncopated Ladies

Can we make #TappyFriday a thing? Earlier this morning we brought you the utter joy of Book of Mormon swing Christopher Rice’s “Happy Tap Dance.” Now, the Syncopated Ladies are turning up the heat with their latest tap video extravaganza, set to Katy Perry’s “Roar.”

It has everything you’ve come to expect from a Syncopated Ladies production—namely, Chloé Arnold‘s fabulous team of hoofers doing innovative choreography to an earworm of a girl-power anthem. But the cool thing about this latest video is that it’s set in the desert, which means the Ladies are actually practicing the fine art of “sand dancing,” as made famous by tapper Howard “Sandman” Sims back in the 1950s. The scraping sound of the sand under the dancers’ feet adds a different kind of aural texture to the choreography.

Enjoy! And seriously, let’s get this #TappyFriday thing going, guys.
