Tap Dancing– is a form of dance characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer’s… Tap dance was born in the United States during the 19th century, and today is popular all around the world. The name comes from the tapping sound made when the small metal plates on the dancer’s shoes touch a hard floor. This lively, rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician .
