Tap Dance originated in 18th century America, cotton plantations, where the African traditional rhythms united with Irish folk dance culture. Over time it has evolved and acquired various stylistic features. Each dancer has the opportunity to create his/her own unique view of one of the genre styles. In this masterclass we will focus on the American Rhythm tap.
