Tap

Tap is a form of dance that uses the sound of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe, and emphasis is placed on musicality and syncopation. Tap dance has its roots in the fusion of several ethnic percussive dances, including African tribal dances and Irish jigs.
