Body percussion refers to the sounds which are made by body parts such as the hands, feet, fingers and mouth. The body is used like an instrument, to produce rhythmic sounds.
It may be used on its own, or along with music and dance.
There are four main sounds that can be produced with body percussion:
Clapping and tapping
Stamping (or stomping)
Patting and slapping
Snapping (or clicking)
