This style of dance has its origins in traditional Irish dance, which was later exported to North America in the 19th century. Tap dancing allows dancers to express themselves through percussive rhythms that they create using different foot movements. They create musical rhythms by dancing with metal plates located under the soles of their feet. The sounds vary depending on which parts of the shoes touch the ground: the heel, the toe, the middle of the foot and the sides. This art form offers great freedom of expression to the dancers, who can improvise or follow a choreography.
Your tap shoes must fit properly. Your foot should be wrapped around the shoe and your toes should not touch the tip of the shoe. shoe. However, the space between the toes and the shoe must be restricted.
During your fittings, to help you choose the right tap shoesWe recommend that you check that you feel comfortable in it, so that you can carry out all the movements easily and without injury.
Some of the materials used in the pairs we offer improve the comfort of the shoe, such as a canvas and cashmere lining, leather inside and out, and toe caps without a counter to ensure the upper fits the foot. Don't hesitate to try on several tap shoes to make your choice.
In tap dancing, the tone and resonance are also points to consider. Above all, the thickness of the sole will determine the quality of the sound. Of course, the thickness of the irons and the quality of the carbon plate are also important factors to consider.
For a start, we strongly recommend that you do not wear the same pair of shoes two days in a row so that it has time to dry properly. You can also use shoe trees. They help absorb moisture and prevent unpleasant odours.
To ensure that your tap shoes last a long time, we recommend that you look after the leather with suitable products. This will nourish the leather and prevent it from cracking. There are leather creams for this purpose.
What's more, the metal plates need to be dusted after each use to preserve their resonance.
