- Tap
-
Tap is one of the most fun, dance skills, and should be learnt
by all dancers. It is the understanding and execution of rhythm and
natural isolations to a variety of music, through foot beats.
-
It has recently begun a popular revival. Modern day
influences include Irish Dance (Riverdance) and Australian Tap (Tap Dogs, Hot Shoe
Shuffle), as well as the recognised brilliance of American Tap
which has developed from the days of Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Ginger
Rogers and Judy Garland. Pioneers recognised by tap dancers today
include: Sammy Davis Junior and Gregory Hines.
-
-
Tap is taught under the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing
(ISTD) syllabus, with examinations in The
Imperial Society and The Anglo-Russe International Stage Dancing
Association.
-
Classes also include freestyle tap and various teaching
styles and influences to maintain a modern, vibrant approach to this
skill.
