What is tap dancing?

Tap dance is a type of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. The sound is made by shoes that have a metal "tap" on the heel and toe. There are several major variations on tap dance including: flamenco, rhythm tap, classical tap, Broadway tap, and post-modern tap. Broadway tap is rooted in English theatrical tradition and often focuses on formations, choreography and generally less complex rhythms; it is widely performed in musical theatre. Rhythm tap focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the jazz tradition. Classical tap has a similarly long tradition which marries European "classical" music with American foot drumming with a wide variation in full-body expression. Post-modern or contemporary tap has emerged over the last three decades to incorporate abstract expression, thematic narrative and technology.

Artknits Richmond Hill articles: Non-Verbal communication: A reflection

 One of the most important things is communication skills. This is a skill that is important when you want to talk to people. Communication skills can be "verbal" because it was related to a "form of words." But today, we are going to talk about "non-verbal communication skills. Non-verbal communication skills are not saying words that how are you doing and what are you feeling. Non-verbal communication skills are kindly using your body language of how are you are feeling and doing. Like for example, when someone was angry they will do a hands-on-your-hips pose.  Or it also talks about your feelings and emotions because people can see or observe how someone was feeling, with their eyes.
