History of Tap Dance
We can trace this form of dance back to the early 19th century originating from the fusion of African and Irish step dance styles.
The first tap shoes were designed with wooden soles to amplify the sound as the dancer struck the floor. The rest of the shoe was typically made with either canvas or leather for flexibility. During these beginning years of tap dance, many dancers modified their shoes to suit their personal performance needs. In fact, some tap dancers attached pennies to the taps to deliver a heavier sound when executing their dance moves.
Tap dance remains an integral part of American cultural heritage as it continues to evolve as a vibrant and diverse art form celebrated for its rhythm and expression.
DID YOU KNOW?
Dance is a powerful means of alleviating stress and enhancing mood. When we dance, our bodies release endorphins, which are natural hormones that assist the nervous system in managing distress. Therefore, when you find yourself overwhelmed or exhausted after a demanding day, engage in a dance session to swiftly uplift your spirits and foster a sense of well-being.
