(Description from Dance This 2007 Program)

“Zapateo,” derived from the word shoe, is a stepping dance style in which the dancer provides rhythmic enhancement to a melodious tune. Traditionally accompanied by one guitar, two or more males would compete against each other to demonstrate skill and musicality by improvising intricate rhythmic patterns with feet against the floor and body slapping. Unlike U.S. tap, it is danced with a plain hard-soled shoe.
