What is the difference between tap dancing and clogging?
If you ever tried tap dancing in clogs it would render this question superfluous
The bottoms of clogs are lose and taps are solid. You do more lifting up your feet in cloging.
Like all performing arts, tap dance is performed in order to entertain and amuse an audience.
So you can make your own beat at your own rate. You then can show someone what you have mastered. It is really fun and how do I say this "rythemy". TRY IT!!!!!!
