Tap dancing

Tap dancing is a rhythmic dance form that emphasizes intricate, percussive footwork produced by specialized shoes fitted with metal plates on the heel and toe. Dancers create vibrant, syncopated sounds by striking the floor with precise timing, blending music and movement. It requires coordination, timing, and a strong sense of rhythm, often involving solo improvisation or synchronized group routines. Tap dancing combines elements of dance, percussion, and storytelling, making it both an expressive art form and a dynamic performance style rooted in musicality and physical skill.
