Answer 3

According to Wikipedia (which isn't a very reliable source) the 19th century: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_dance

This website says from 1900-1920: http://www.theatredance.com/tap/

What most websites have said that tap has originated from Africans dancing, then from clogging and Irish.

I hope this helps :)
