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 can have a funky street feel, like "Tap Dogs" or have that old school charm and style, like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Tap combines elegance, grace, rhythm, originality and precision. It is dynamic, exhilarating and fun. A love of tap dance lasts a lifetime.
