It is a poised style of dance that incorporates the foundational techniques for many other dance forms. This genre of dance is very hard to master and requires much practice.

The tapping sound is due to the presence of metal plates on the soles of the shoes. Creating music/rhythm with your feet while dancing is the soul of this dance form.
