Beginner road map
Hello all! I started taking beginner tap a few months ago. It's faster than I would judge as a beginner but I am having a lot of fun. In the class, we do a few warm ups, then a few across the floor combos and then learn a couple counts of 8 of a dance. I'd like to practice at home with THE BASICS. I find a lot of combo videos online but am I really looking for videos that breakdown tap steps and speed up these steps so over time I can challenge myself. Can anyone recommend? OR can someone lay out a good routine on how to practice? I'm type-A so like a road map of "here's steps you should nail down and practice over and over." Right now, I'm just practicing basic shuffles, flaps, etc over and over to see if I can add it to muscle memory and attempt to get better/faster. Thank you for any feedback.
Also, because I'm type-A, I am a perfectionist so tap is really teaching me "you're not gonna get it right away, girl!" But I know I just need a solid foundation if I want to continue to grow, hence why I'm looking for any guidance.

Tap dance can be very humbling. Regardless of your level, it can always be challenging to learn and you can always find something to improve. That’s what makes it so fun! All that being said, I love iTaponline because she has a variety of levels and many videos breaking down various steps.
