Tap Dance is an American dance form that focuses on footwork and rhythm. The rhythm and movement of tap, created by the metal taps on the heels and toes of a dancer’s shoes, transforms the dancer into a percussive musician. Tap dance emphasizes the flow of movement by teaching the dancer to find rhythms and beats not only in music but in their own bodies, focusing on footwork and rhythm. Historically, Tap Dance is associated with Jazz music, but it also includes styles that are based in musical theater.

Attire: Dance/athletic wear, feet must be visible, no jeans. Tap shoes.
