La danse à claquettes (top dance) est un type de "step dance". Le français n'ayant pas de générique pour cette famille de danses, on pourrait l'associer aux spectacles de variétés où elle se pratique généralement. 1, record 2, French, - danse%20de%20vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9s
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Variétés. Spectacle de music-hall composé de numéros de disciplines multiples et aussi variées que possible. (A travers le disque et la radio, le terme a évolué et englobe tout ce qui n'est pas musique classique, tandis que la télévision en élargit encore le sens en qualifiant émission de variétés toutes les émissions qui ne se réfèrent ni au théâtre, ni au cinéma, ni au reportage, ni au documentaire.) 2, record 2, French, - danse%20de%20vari%C3%A9t%C3%A9s
