Soft-shoe dancing is a style of tap dancing where the dancer wears soft-soled shoes, creating a quieter and more relaxed sound compared to traditional tap shoes. Synonyms for soft-shoe dancing include 'rhythm tap,' 'jazz tap,' and 'Broadway tap.' Rhythm tap refers to tap dancing that emphasizes the use of rhythm and syncopation, while jazz tap incorporates elements of jazz and swing music. Broadway tap, as the name suggests, is a style of tap dancing often performed in musical theater productions. Other styles of tap dancing include 'hoofing,' which emphasizes speed and percussive sounds, and 'classical tap,' which focuses on precise footwork and technique.
