Some dance requires special
shoes. For instance, ballet dancers wear slippers
for silent, graceful movements. Tap dancers want
their steps to be heard, so they wear tap shoes—
shoes with metal attachments on the toes and
heels. When tap dancing, dancers tap out
rhythms with the heels and toes of their feet.
Tap dancing is similar to more recent forms of
dance, such as hip-hop, because tap first
appeared on street corners. Tappers tried to
perform better “moves” than other street-corner
dancers.

When ties connect notes, the note values are
joined, which can create accented rhythms that
give an off-balance movement to the music
called syncopation.
Perform the syncopated rhythms by clapping
and then speaking them.
