Tap Dance is a modality of American musical dance, distinguished by the use of percussion with the feet and body. It originated from the fusion of ethnic percussion dances introduced in the United States at the beginning of the 19th century: African tribal dances, English clog-dancing, Irish and Scottish step-dancing.
It is an enjoyable class which develops musicality, rhythmic construction, agility, balance and sensibility. It strengthens the dancer’s legs, particularly calf muscles, as well as abdominal muscles. Tap Dance was popularized in Hollywood movies and Broadway shows and is expressed in a variety or rhythms: classical, modern, street, etc.
