You're reading: Tap dance

Tap dancing turns a stage into a percussion instrument played with the feet of a dancer.

That’s why it is considered not only a dance but also a form of music.

Tap dancing is believed to have emerged in the 19th century, but triumphed when cinema and TV were invented. It became a permanent attribute of the first black-and-white films.

Despite movies going digital, tap dance still exists. Meet dancers from the USA, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine on Wednesday, May 25, Budynok Ofitseriv, 30/1 Hrushevskoho. Tickets: Hr 100-450.
