Daniel Galhardo of Tenkara USA demonstrates and teaches Tenkara casting techniques at the Somerset Fly Fishing Show. Ask you can see in this video, Tenkara involves casting, not lowering your fly into the water (dapping).
To dap (traditionally), you need wind to position the fly on the water and help make the fly bob on the surface. In Tenkara, you are casting in much the same way you cast a western fly rod. The difference is you have a fixed amount of line. With that fixed-line, you can deliver your fly with pinpoint accuracy, something you can't do when you "dap."
