Tap dance is a style of theatrical dance characterized by precise, rhythmical patterns of foot movement and stomping on the floor. The main historical sources of tap dance appear in the traditional clog dance of northern England; in the jigs, reels, and fligs of Ireland and Scotland; and in rhythmic foot stomping of African dances.
