What makes tap so different from other dance styles, even percussive ones like flamenco and Irish step dancing? It displays the ingenuity of people who over the last 160 years or so have merged several very different movement aesthetics from distant continents into a brilliantly versatile form of expression immediately recognizable as horn in the U.S.A. Many of us traveling ministers of the percussive sole are often asked about the history of tap dance. We usually answer to the best of our knowledge about the shared roots in Africa and the British Isles and try to explain the parallel development of jazz music and its sibling who can't sit still: tap. The ultimate challenge is that there are virtually no written historical sources before the advent of the moving picture. Performance reviews of early tap champions like William Henry Lane (a.k.a. "Master Juba," born a free black man in 1825) are scarcely accurate technical analyses. Find your Tap Shoes Here by Brand Name or Best Value!
