Tap dancing became popular in the early 20th century due to its energetic and rhythmic style, which combined African American and Irish dance traditions. The rise of jazz music and the influence of vaudeville performances helped showcase tap dancing as a captivating form of entertainment. Additionally, the advent of film and Broadway musicals in the 1920s and 1930s further propelled its popularity, allowing dancers like Bill "Bojangles" Robinson and later stars like Fred Astaire to reach wider audiences.
The first tap dancing musical is widely considered to be "Shuffle Along," which premiered on May 23, 1921. This groundbreaking production featured an all-Black cast and showcased tap dancing as a central element of its performance. It played a significant role in bringing African American music and dance to mainstream audiences.
