About tap dancing
Tap means "tap" or "tap". Tapdance is an international popular dance in the world, which can also be called a kind of percussion music. Tap is also an independent culture in the world. It was formally formed in the United States in the early 20th century. Before that, immigrants from all over the world and African slaves brought their own folk dances to this immigrant continent, and these folk dances gradually merged to form a new dance form tapdance. It is mainly wearing special shoes with iron feet, using flexible dance steps to strike out a variety of rhythms in wood floor. Compared with some other dance with the rhythm of foot strike, tapdance pays more attention to the complex skills and rhythm of foot strike, and has a closer relationship with jazz. Tapdance's rich rhythm is greatly influenced by jazz, such as syncopation rhythm and improvisation. The atmosphere of jazz, the place of tap culture, is very strong, and some jazz masters and tap dancers often perform together.
After nearly a hundred years of development, tap dance has formed different styles.
In the 1920s, the Broadway performance form of tap dance, which combines song and dance, has gradually developed, and tapdance, which originated from the bottom of the society and people, has been greatly developed. Tapdance has been widely used in Broadway, Hollywood movies, club entertainment, tour and other occasions in modern times, and has become a traditional dance form representing the United States. For example, the Irish folk dance "gig dance" has absorbed some techniques and performance forms of American tapdance and formed its own style of Irish tap dance.
Later, in the long-term development, this school was constantly affected by many factors. For example, the influence of Western cowboys in the United States, such as the influence of black traditional drum rhythm, is most influenced by jazz. Tap dance absorbs elements such as jazz music rhythm and improvisation, which is more entertaining, more open and challenging. This gradually formed a very rich form of dance, and became the representative of the United States, black tap dance genre.
