TAP
Tap dancing is a type of dance where the main feature is the sound made by tap shoes hitting the floor. Tap dancers wear special shoes with metal pieces on the bottom. There is one metal piece at the toe, and sometimes also another at the heel.
There are two main types of tap dance: rhythm (Jazz) tap and Broadway tap. Broadway tap is more about the dance, and is often done in musical theater. Rhythm tap is more about the sound of the tapping.

Commercial Hip-Hop
Hip Hop dance refers to dance styles primarily danced to hip hop music or that have evolved as a part of the Hip Hop culture. Many of the newer styles of hip hop/commercial dance are a common sight in current music videos. Hip Hop classes have elements of various street/club dances, often mixing them with other dance styles such as Jazz and Contemporary.
As Hip Hop is such a broad genre in dance, the instructor has much freedom and room for personal interpretation, allowing them and the students to be more creative, this style of dancing is not as thoroughly structured or disciplined as some dance styles and therefore allows students to interpret the moves in varied ways. Hip Hop dance classes are relatively fast-paced, and rhythmic.
