Tacit knowledge is knowledge that is not expressly available. It is knowledge that is implied, that is gathered indirectly through the pursuit of related information or knowledge. Tacit knowledge can also manifest itself it the form of skills that someone may posses. For example, the ability of someone to do a certain dance is tacit knowledge. That knowledge of how to move one's different body parts and stay in rhythm with the music and stay balanced is implicit knowledge. That knowledge is not explicit and can not be taught through words or written instructions. Though tacit knowledge cannot be taught through regular means it can captured by through words in conjunction with learning from experts or experienced individuals and through observation.
