Abstract	Tap dancing is for all ages and offers a fun way to be physically active for a lifetime. The purpose of this paper is to describe a parent-and-child tap dance program, the physical activity that occurred during sessions, and parent feedback regarding their experiences. Tap sessions were held on 10 different days within a 14-month period. Data collected included a demographic survey, accelerometer physical activity assessments, and a parent survey of perceived physical, social, and emotional program benefits. The program is unique in the dance field due to its explicit purpose of engaging parents and children together in sessions led by a university dance professor and tap ensemble students. The paper provides a complete program description and a detailed report of typical physical activity during the tap sessions for parents and children. Parent feedback was useful for program refinement and for recommendations for dance educators wanting to offer similar programs. (As Provided).
