The dap was a custom originated by African - American
servicemen who served during the Vietnam conflict. It comprised a
series of handshakes or gyrations made during handshakes to show
the unity of black soldiers. It was broken into either short or
long time daps according to how much time the participating
soldiers had available to them.
