BEGINNER TAP SHOES – TAP YOUR WORRIES AWAY
If you don’t know much about tap it’s an easy dance style to dismiss. On the Emerald Isle, tap doesn’t hold the prestige of ballet, nor the universality of Irish dancing. Tap is a dance style largely associated, in general, with kid’s stage schools. As such, it might surprise you to discover that tap dancing isn’t just Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly in those black and white musicals any more. Tap dancing has evolved with the times and the modern face of tap dance is edgy and athletic.
