Definition: Tromping, also known as a "tumbling", is a type of dance that originated in the late 18th century and is characterized by rapid footwork and a series of stomps. It often involves a person stomping their feet on the ground or other objects to create a rhythmic pattern. The term "tromping" was originally used to describe the act of walking slowly, but it has since been applied to any dance that includes a slow, deliberate motion.
