Here's how to submit your video:

1. Video yourself saying your name, age, location, and "I love Garage Tap," followed by you tap dancing with NO MUSIC for no more than 1 minute. That's right, just you and your sweet sounds, but no music. Also, please wear plain clothes with NO LOGOS OR PRINT on them. Failure to follow these rules will disqualify you form the contest.
