A uniquely American dance form, tap dance is the fusion of British Isles Clog and Step dancing with the rhythms of West African drumming (the tap sounds were used to replace the beats of the drums.) Consequently, African dance styles became more formal and diluted, while European elements became more fluid and rhythmic.
