I have always wanted to learn how to tap dance. What can you tell me about it?
It's basically a form of dance with the use of tap shoes.
That makes sense. I like to watch the classic movies like Singin' in the Rain with Gene Kelly. He was an amazing tap dancer.
I've never heard of him, but I find it interesting that tap dancing is so based on sound.
Yeah, it really creates a rhythm. Musicals with tap dancers were very common in older movies.
I've noticed that too! There's also two major forms: rhythm tap and Broadway tap.
Interesting, I wonder what makes them different?
Broadway tap focuses on the dancing whereas rhythm tap focuses on the musicality.
Oh, I get it. I think I like the broadway style more.
Same here, I think mixing good dance with good sound is tougher so Broadway tap sounds better overall
