Tap Dance: Music You Can See

1Tap dance is a kind of dance in which the dancers' feet make the music. Each step makes a sound, so a tap dancer is part dancer and part drummer.

2The secret is in the shoes. Tap shoes have small metal plates called taps. One tap is on the toe, and one is on the heel. When a dancer strikes the floor, the metal makes a sharp, clicking sound.

3Tap dancers learn steps with fun names. A shuffle is a quick brush of the toe forward and back. In a stamp, the dancer brings the whole foot down hard. A ball change is a quick shift of weight from one foot to the other.

4Tap dance grew up in the United States. It came from a mix of African and Irish dance steps. Today, people of all ages tap in classes, in shows, and on stage.

5At Maple Street School, the tap club meets in the gym on Fridays. The dancers listen carefully, because a good tap dancer must keep the beat. When the whole club taps together, the gym sounds like a hard rain on a tin roof.
