Tap dance is a percussive dance dating back to the early 1800s, with a blend of principally African and Irish roots.
Tap dance performers have often displayed a great deal of character through sound and body movement, often incorporating complicated rhythmic step combinations. Tap dancing evolved from a rigid Irish jig to a sand step, and a little bit of jazz, from clogging to wing styles, soft-shoe to the sand step, and a little bit of jazz, from a stiff Irish jig to a sand step, to a sand step, and a little bit of jazz.
