Summary/Abstract: Tap dance philosophy is a discipline that integrates reflections on the different aspects of tap dancing, analyzed in integrative, systemic, implicit or explicit vision. Tap dance philosophy can be considered and analyzed as a whole/system, but also sequentially, for each motric and artistic action involved. In this study, three tap dance styles are analyzed, all which are interdependent and form a unified total: tap dance as an artistic system, tap dance as a symbolic system, tap dance as a semiotic system. Also, there are presented some analytical perspectives that can be used in tap dance. In tap dance, the emphasis on philosophical reflection favors dialogue, confrontation of ideas, critical analyzes, prospective and proactive analyzes, the formation of a coherent logical and functional philosophical system.
