Course Details

Tap Dance was developed in the USA in the 19th century. The name comes from the tapping sound made by metal plates underneath the shoes. Tap dance has most often been recognized for its happy, carefree method of expression. Tap is an art form that can be seen and heard. It is basically mathematical, just as music is.

All people have a natural rhythm. The simplest of body functions (heart beat, walking, breathing) occur in rhythm. The tap dancer must develop a further awareness or “sense of rhythm”. An essential part of tap dance is to learn basic music as the tap dancer must also be a percussive musician since he creates sound.
