With roots in African and Irish dance and Dutch clogging, tap today has developed into an exciting art form.

 

With metal plates on the heel and toe of the shoe, tap can be described as ‘playing a musical instrument and dancing at the same time!’. Co-ordination is developed to enable different parts of the foot to make rhythmic patterns and also develop musicality. 

 

A tap class consists of a warm up, technique work and finishes with a routine.
