TAP is an indigenous American art form with roots in Irish Step Dancing and African Juba. Rhythm Tap technique is based on the styles of the first generation ‘Hoofers’ of vaudeville, jazz clubs and Broadway with the contemporary exploration of the concert stage. Tradition is taught with an emphasis on musicality, relaxation and individuality.
