Hi everyone,
Welcome to Tony's Tap TV. Episode 16. Count em!
Eight weeks! Count them too! Eight weeks of social distancing. "What a world" my dad would have said. But, meanwhile here we are, we are strong, we keep moving and we are trying to stay creative. So, if you're just now joining in, check out the link below to all the past episodes that are now archived. (actually you won't see Episode 15 because I'm having issues editing our website and I'm currently building a brand NEW one. More details on that later.
Anywho, we're starting with a tribute to the legendary Cotton Club Boys & Girls. They were inducted into the International Tap Dance Hall of Fame in 2017.
Meanwhile, I have the next clip from my Tap Basics Instructional Video that is a bit more advanced. It's the second phrase of my double-time sequence that I often perform. So, all you advanced beginners and intermediate level students out there, check it out.
Next we have another Tap Cartoon. Hey you guys! send me these. I'm sure you've kept them like I have.
Finally, at the very bottom, I've included some raw, and rare, footage from a Gala performance to raise money for the American Tap Dance Orchestra at the Cotton Club in 1987. What a night THAT was, right Brenda? Boy do WE have stories!
OK, that's it for now. Until the next one. Keep safe, keep healthy and keep TIME please!
Oh, and see you in the funny papers.
Tony
