IMHO, tapping your foot is distracting. But, I find that when I have complex rhythms or syncopations, I need to tap my foot at first. But, I have also found that it gets in the way of really playing with others. I do duets with a fellow student; Our teacher told us to stop tapping our feet. We then proceded to "conduct" or "beat time" with our clarinets. When we stopped these habbits, we played together much better. Also, I lead 2 woodwind quintets. The younger group has a habbit of tapping their feet. When we are able to stop, we have a lot less problems with really playing in time together. Well, that was my 2 cents. :-)
