NATIONAL TAP DANCE DAY | May 25

#nationaltapdanceday

Tap dance is a percussive dance dating back to the early 1800s, with a blend of principally African and Irish roots...

Incorporating intricate rhythmic step combinations, tap dancers have often displayed a great deal of character by sound and body movement. Tap dancing evolved from a stiff Irish jig to the bodily Cakewalk and vocal Ring-shout, from clogging to wing styles, soft-shoe to the sand step, and a little bit of jazz.
