[edit] tap dance is not soft shoe
I haven't studied dance; but isn't there some huge differences between soft shoe (which redirects to tap dance) and tap dance?
Like, tap dance, it is expected that the hands seem to be relaxed and at ones side while soft shoe often the dancers are provided with (or bring their own) hat and can and this is part of the dance?
And tap dance actually adds to the rhythm of the music with special toe and heel combinations while soft shoe is nothing like that (and a lot easier to do)? A bad tap dancer would hurt the music, in fact, a tap dance is a musician while a bad soft shoe dancer just doesn't matter so much.
This is a plea for someone who understands dance to make the distinction between soft shoe and tap here. One of those dancers is also a musician.... -- Carol 13:09, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Precursors
No mention of shingle dancing? I see that none of the precursors are cited, but this would seem to me to merit as much mention as the others. - Jmabel | Talk 19:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
