Tango

Is a social dance originating in Argentina that is traditionally performed by a male and female dancer. This dance form is romantic and dramatic in its quality.

Tap

Is a dance form which requires you to wear special shoes with metal discs on the heel and toe of the sole which make a ‘tapping’ sound when you move your feet. To create sharp and varied sounds, the dancer must be very aware of musical rhythm when they are dancing and the pressure they are applying with their feet.

Tutu

A tutu is a ballet skirt. There are two main types: the classical tutu which is flat, round and stiff and the romantic tutu, which is long and flowing.
