Tap dance classes in Edison, NJ
Tap
Tap dancers wear shoes with small metal plates on the toe and heel. Every step makes a sound, so the dancer's feet become a drum and the dance becomes music.
If you know…Kathak, you know dancers whose feet keep the beat. Tap works the same way, with American jazz and Broadway rhythms.
