American Tap
American Tap © Patrick Randak
Mark Wilkinson traces tap dancing from its origins, through its evolution, to the current form. It is an uniquely Amerian story that illustrates the vibrant and powerful nature of the country as a cultural melting pot and examines, reveals and informs many of the very basic concepts and current themes of the American cultural consciousness. Digging into the heritage of American tap dancing we discover elements of history which have the potential to tear America apart: the stigma of slavery and the friction caused by immigration, musically speaking from the ring shout to the jig.
