Tap Dance

Tap is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps.
Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats. The term "tap dancing" is
derived from the tapping sound produced when the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes touch a hard floor or surface.
The most common style of tap dancing is called "classical tap." Classical tap dancers, known as "tappers",
use their arms and upper bodies to blend movements of ballet or jazz into their tap routines.
