[Tanya Goodwin] will present a free program on the history of dance at 3 p.m. today at the Palm Harbor Library in connection with Black History Month. The program, "Loves Music, Loves to Dance," will focus on tap dance as it relates to African-American life along with the history of ballet and modern dance. There will even be a demonstration of different types of dances.

"People don't know how to teach it," Goodwin said. "All they've learned is the white type of tap dance. Tap dance has always been there. It's just not received the recognition beyond Broadway tap because no one really knew what it was."

In Broadway tap, performers dance to the melody, Goodwin said. In rhythmic tap, they dance to the melody and the beat.
