This had led to further research into the area of archiving and notating tap dance, creating a codified language and system of notation. The significant of this research is that it fulfils educational criteria whilst showcasing students to the commercial industry. Also integrates dance and art through its brief. Its research component relates to the historic referencing, and educational and professional outcomes.
