William Henry Lane was known as Master Juba and the "Juba dance" also known as "Pattin' Juba" was a mix of European Jig, Reel Steps, Clog and African Rhythms and became popular around 1845. This was, some say, the creation of Tap in America as a theatrical art form and American Jazz dance. Tap dancing started with the Africans in early America who would beat out rhythms in their dances with brushing and shuffling movements of the feet. Tap Dance has it's own language which may give some clues to the nature of the art. The following are terms commonly associated with tap: Shuffle ,Bojangles, Buck 'n Wing, Irish Clog, Buck Irish, Appalacian Clogging ,Black Face ,Minstrel, Vaudeville, Time Step, Riffs, Riffle, Ball Change, Pearl Rolls, Patter

Return to Tap Dance Reference Index Tap Origins: A Brief History by Paul Corr Introduction Tap has a long history of "stealing steps" and "challenges." In reading any tap history performers will speak of dancing on street corners or outside clubs trying to outdo other dancers. These street games of "one-upmanship" were called "challenges." Challenges survive today in tap jam sessions and the techinique of "trading fours" in a performance with several dancers. "Trading fours" refers to each dancer giving his or her best for four measures before passing to the other dancer with a non-verbal "top this!" The other phrase "stealing steps" refers to dancers trying to figure out what another dancer is doing, how he or she is getting that sound. The step is rarely taken literally by the viewing dancer. The motto is "Thou shalt not do another's step, exactly." A step is usually shaped and changed and incorporated into that dancer's personal style.

All ABout Tap Dance A Hoofer's Notebook TheatreDance.com Vance Holmes, Web Editor The phrase "tap dance" first appeared in print around Merriam-Webster defines it two ways, first: A step dance tapped out audibly by means of shoes with hard soles or soles and heels to which taps have been added. The second definition is more interesting: An action or discourse intended to rationalize or distract. The early slave trade in America resulted in a rhythmic collision of cultures. Slave-holders already fearful of revolt, began to panic when it was discovered that Africans could communicate with each other - over long distances and in code - through the use of drums. All over the South, slave-holders forbid the use of drums and other native instruments in African religious ceremonies. But African-Americans held on to their traditional rhythms by transferring them to their feet. The tapping out of complex rhythmic passages was developed, and a subtle, intricate and vital physical code of expression was born.

For the first time, all of these various steps are collected in one reference book, The Tap Dance Dictionary. This book contains extensive cross-references for ease of use, with emphasis on all variations of a name, from universally recognized terms to simple "pet" names that individual performers and choreographers have created.
