Tap / Clog

Tap and clog dance is a rhythmic style of dancing that uses the percussive sound of metal-soled shoes to create music.

Tap dancers use the taps on their shoes to make different sounds depending on how they strike the floor, while clog dancers use the wooden soles of their shoes to create distinct rhythms.

Character

Character dance is a theatrical dance that involves creating characters and stories through movement. The style combines elements of traditional folk dances, such as jigs and reels, with more modern dramatic presentations. Costumes are often used to create an atmosphere and convey the character’s emotions; props may be used to tell a story or create an atmosphere.

It is an improvisational art form, emphasizing movement to express emotion and feelings rather than following specific steps or choreography.

It has become increasingly popular as a way to express emotions and tell stories through movement. This type of dancing often follows the rhythm and melody of accompanying music, creating an emotional connection between the dancer and audience.
