Tap Dancers:

Are you planning an event and need a way to entertain your guests? Are you hoping to impress your guests with some talented performers? If you answered yes to either of those questions than booking a tap dancing group may be the right choice for you!

Tap dance is a form of dance whose name can serve as a perfect definition. Tap dance is a form of dance where the dancer taps their feet quickly in order to produce sounds from the special shoes that have metal attached to the bottom. The shoes end up acting as percussion instruments so the dance also creates a type of music during performances. In addition, their quickly tapping feet do not only produce interesting sounds but they are also interesting to watch. There are two main forms of tap dance: rhythm tap and Broadway tap. Rhythm tap is intended to create interesting rhythms and music and focuses around the sounds that come from the tapping shoe. Clients book Broadway tap more typically because it is a focus on the actual dancing versus the sounds. However, at Global Talent Booking we have access to both types of tap groups and can help you to book whichever you prefer.

The roots of tap dancing come from Irish step dancing along with English clog dancing. These dances originated in the mid-1800s and have continued to grow and change from then until today. Many different forms of dance have branched off from the intricate history of tap dance and many famous dancers and dances have come out of the dance form as well.

Tap dance can be found frequently throughout popular culture today. One of the best examples is through the animated film, Happy Feet. Beyond blockbuster flicks, tap dancers have entertained audiences in many other ways. Some of the biggest names in tap dancing are Debbie Reynolds, Sammy Davis Jr, and Fred Astaire. Each of these dancers and many more like them were not just dancers but were entertainers in a variety of ways. While Sammy Davis Jr was primarily a dancer, he was also a singer, actor, and comedian. He was made famous on Broadway, television, and in the movies because of his multiple impressive talents.

Sammy Davis Jr is not the only tap dancer with many talents. In fact, booking tap dancers for your event can prove that to you. If you are looking for an entertainer who strictly taps or for someone who can wow your audience in a variety of ways, booking a tap dancer will be a great decision. Tap dancing can get the whole audience involved because people start clapping along to the music, which encourages the dancers to dance even faster. It will be an inclusive and high-energy event for guests of any ages.
