Tap dance (踢踏舞) is a style of dance which developed in the United States in the 19th century. Originally, tap dance appeared in black minstrel shows, but by the 1920s, it had become popular with both blacks and whites. Today, a number of schools of tap dance can be seen in action, and it is possible to take a range of tap classes at many dance studios and schools. In tap dance, performers wear shoes which have been equipped with metal plates. As the dancer moves, the plates click against the dance floor, creating a characteristic tapping sound. Tappers can create a variety of percussive (敲击的) rhythms with their feet by tapping, sliding, and clicking the metal plates. Observers can enjoy both the movements of the dancer and the sound of the tapping, with tap dancers performing either alone or with musical accompaniment. Some composers have even created compositions for tap dancers and orchestras, using the tap dancers like drummers and other members of the percussion section. The roots of tap dance are a bit obscure (模糊的). Several cultures have dance traditions similar to tap dancing, such as clogging (木屐舞) in the British Isles, which utilizes movements similar to those used by tappers. Some African cultures also have percussive dance traditions which were undoubtedly brought to the United States on slave ships, and Flamenco (弗拉门戈舞), a style of Spanish dance, also features a version of tap dancing called zapateado (萨帕台阿多舞). Whatever the origins of tap dancing, it has become a quintessentially American dance form.【缺少答案,请补充】
