a short lesson in tap


i have a special love for tap and fayard and harold nicholas were some of the best to ever do it.
gregory hines was the keynote speaker at my high school graduation and he was quoted in saying "that if the biography of the nicholas brothers was ever filmed, the dance sequences would have to be computer generated because no one would be able to perform the moves."
and speaking of the late great gregory hines, this was one of my favorite movie scenes growing up, CHALLENGE!
and it was this very episode of the cosby show that got me interested in tap.
well, since we are at it, we might as well close with this amazing video of two legends. savion glover has the torch now.
