Tap has been around for a lot of years. It has been around since slavery was.  The Africans had clogs that would make the tapping sound.  Today they use metal or steel on the shoes.  In tapping you need to move quickly and swiftly.  Instead of just moving your fee you move your whole body.  In tap use may do moves that are on one leg or you could jump but to do these you have to have very good balance.
