In what country did tap dancing start?
Tap dancing is actually an American form of dance. It is a blend of Irish step and African gumboot dancing. When both African Americans and the Irish were oppressed they somehow came together and tap was formed; a blend of steps from the Irish and rhythm and style from the African Americans. African Americans were not allowed to perform at first so minstrel shows were done by white people and they would black out their faces to make fun of the black dancers.
Where the tap dance is orginated?
A uniquely American dance form, 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.)

What muscles are used in a Triathlon?
Triathlon encompasses swimming, biking, and running, and so it involves almost all of your muscles. Your "tri muscles" are those muscles that carry the bulk of the muscle load for swimming, biking, and running. For swimming, it's your lats, chest, and shoulders. For biking and running, it's your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves. Another key muscle group area is commonly referred to as your "core muscles," which include the abdominal muscles, the lumbar region (or lower back), and the thoracic and cervical region of the spine. These muscles serve to provide stability, support, and a solid base for the rest of the body to function maximally.

Who invented the tap dancing shoe?
that was not appropriate to say "you did spaz" someone should report that person. The real answer is: nobody really invented it it was a whole country of people that did. The people of Ireland made it..... actually tap dance is an American art form. Irish dancers do not have taps on their shoes, the taps were developed in the United States but not by one particular person.
