Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation. Choreography typically starts on the eighth or first beat count.
DurationTap Dancing is a style using precise rhythmical patterns of foot movement and audible foot tapping. It is derived from the traditional clog dance of northern England, the jigs and reels of Ireland and Scotland, and the rhythmic foot-stamping of African dances.
Two major variations on tap dance exist rhythm (Jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap focuses more on the dance.
The sound is made by shoes with a metal “tap” on the heel and toe. Tap shoes can be bought at most dance shops. There are different brands of shoes which sometimes differ in the way they sound.
Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation. Choreography typically starts on the eighth or first beat count. Another aspect of tap dancing is improvisation. This can either be done with music and follow the beats provided or without musical accompaniment, also known as a cappella dancing.
Gauteng Dance Studios was started by Isabel Stapelberg in 1995. It has grown with such a pace that it was decided to open more branches in the Centurion area. In 1996 we opened the Rooihuiskraal branch, 2005 the Midstream branch, 2010 the Hennopspark branch and in 2014 the Midridge branch. We strive to provide the BEST standard of work for all our students who participate each year in IDF Exams, festivals, local and International Competitions and a yearly show.
