The Tap dance has a particular tempo that the dancer attained from the small metal plates on their shoes. It is in this way that the dancer also becomes a percussive musician. Back in time, Tap dance came with the Scottish and Irish laborers but originated in the United States of America with the African slaves. They combined their dance with rhythmical tapping elements of the toes and heels and then created the American Tap. Besides the Irish Tap, here in the United States of America, we have several Tap; Freestyle, rhythm tap, classical tap, Broadway tap, and post-modern tap.
