Tap Dancing

If you are from Stratford, a good dance school for tap dancing is Dance Aarts Academy. DO NOT take it from On Stage. Most of their teachers are not qualified to teach, and do not have diplomas.

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.

Because it is?

It's been featured a lot of movies.

There have been several movies dedicated to the style.

It's not really people just do it coz it's fun and it helps you keep fit!!!

A lot of people were involved in creating tap dance, but Mr. Lane is noted as the one who put order to it.

the dancers in swansong use tap to indicate the guards questioning the victim allowing him to dace with them and this is used as his reply , him fighting back and now wanting to be pushed around by these guards.

A slap is the same movement but ending in a touch instead if a step. There is no weight change.
