INFP (7w6)
Tap Dancing personality type is INFP, scoring high on the Fi axis. In contrast to the Te-dominant INFPs I’ve worked with, this type is more introverted, having a harder time expressing themselves. This can lead to significant anxiety, self-doubt, and even depression.
Part of this is due to an inability to accept their own needs and desires, as well as the needs of others. While others may be able to see that they want help or companionship, the INFP doesn’t know that. So they fall into the trap of projecting their own feelings onto others, thinking that someone else is feeling whatever they are feeling. The result? They feel alone and isolated because, in reality, they don’t know what they’re feeling.
The helplessness of the INFP’s constant need for validation can make life difficult for them, as it can be difficult for them to accept their own needs. This is the main reason they struggle with boundaries, because their lack of awareness of their own feelings means they don’t know what to do with them. This is not to say that they don’t feel emotions.
Tap dance is a type of dance characterised by using the sounds of metal taps affixed to the heel and toe of shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion, coupled with both characteristic and interpretative body movements. Its roots were in minstrel shows, it gained prominence in vaudeville, then emerged into an art form and means of expression alongside the evolution of jazz. There are several styles of tap dance, including rhythm, classical, Broadway, and post-modern. Rhythm tap, the most celebrated and best known, focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the jazz tradition and as such, improvisation is essential to their work. Many influential rhythm tap dancers were members of the Hoofers Club. Soft-shoe is a close relative of rhythm tap dancing that does not require tap shoes. Rhythm is generated by tapping the feet, and also by sliding the feet. It produced what is currently considered to be modern tap, but has since declined in popularity.
