Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer's shoe.
踢踏舞的特点就是,在表演的时候,舞者鞋子上的金属片会发出碰撞的清脆声音。
Another aspect of tap dancing is improvisation. This can either be done with music and follow the beats provided or without musical accompaniment, otherwise known as a cappella dancing.
踢踏舞也能进行即兴表演,这种情况下有时候有音乐伴奏,有时候没有,被称为无伴奏表演。
