Princess...I don't have an answer, but was just wondering...is this considered a 'flash act' or a swing dance with gymnastic moves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess of Tap Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Shutoo-- A Flash Act is not jitterbugs. The best example I can give you without giving one away would be this: The Nicholas Brothers are tap dancers who also do a Flash Act. A real Flash Act doesn't tap dance. So just imagine an act like The Nicholas Brothers without Taps on their shoes and no tap dancing. I hope I didn't really confuse you more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
