Tap is all about rhythm... and making lots of noise... which we all know, children love to do!! It's origins are many and varied. Americans claim its origin dates from the African Jazz age. The Irish stake their claim to the Jigs and Step Dancing. The English relate back to northern Clog Dancers but whichever one you choose to believe, tap is as popular today as it was in the heyday of the great Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly musicals. We follow the IDTA syllabus, and enter our pupils for examinations once they are ready.Tap is all about rhythm... and making lots of noise... which we all know, children love to do!!
