Tap dance is a form of dance characterised by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer’s shoe.
These metal plates, when tapped against a hard surface, create a percussive sound and as such the dancers are considered to be musicians.

The Sunshine Coast Performing Arts College style of Tap is fast and rhythmic, challenging dancers with interesting combinations and routines which are enjoyable to learn and exciting to perform.
Tap dancing takes its name from the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes which make a "tapping" sound when they strike a hard floor. Lively and rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician, as Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation.
Tap dance combines technique, musicality and rhythm and provides students with the ability to enhance their fine motor skills. Tap dancing is a thoroughly enjoyable style and again brings the old technique and style reminiscent of Fred Astaire together with the newer modern styles of tap.
Great for boys and girls who like the exciting rhythms of tap music, both classic and modern. Also essential training for those interested in a musical career. Tap is great for everyone!
It’s a fun, lively and entertaining style of dance. and is often seen on stage in broadway musical performances.
