me too. I wish Suzanne Douglas was here also. I loved their dance number

We all took it hard at my school, Broadway Dance Center when Gregory passed. Gregory would enter quietly into our class taught by Barbara Duffy. Entering unannounced, he'd take over our class and Barbara would remain tapping along with us. Gregory was very encouraging. Especially, to me, just when l thought l lost it, having gone through so many things in my life, Gregory brought it to my attention everything was still there. When I didn't see Gregory come by Barbara believed he was busy making movies. I agreed. As time went on l felt something was wrong l asked Barbara again. Before she answered l said, "l have a feeling something is wrong, it's not like him. I just hope he's ok. (I have this gift of prophecy since childhood. It scared me, till l learned to accept it.) Barbara then looked at me. Later, when the news broke out, not only were the lights dim on Broadway, but the school was closed that day in Gregory's honor. Once we returned to class l gave Barbara a sympathy card and stated not to be surprised if she'd see images of Gregory. It was just a sign he's still with us. Suddenly, after the door opened a little. Barbara looked at me, l knew then Gregory's spirit is still with, not only us, but With Broadway Dance Center. When the time comes, all of us will bring our tap shoes and we will be tapping with you once again! God Bless You!

I always figured with his love of tap, that if you met him in an airport and told him you had just taken your first tap lesson he would just talk to you for hours about it.

That's so crazy.... I wish just thinking that too

Gone Too soon. Multi-talented. TY Mr Hines 🙏

Hi where can I download the movie please help

@@thabopule8556 I recorded any parts on VHS 25 years ago,but I cant't find on DVD now,it's discontinued,and we're talking about one of the best dancing movies.....what a pity.

@@thabopule8556A…n Prime Video has it available for purchase. Less than $20(U.S.)

I knew you would appreciate. glad you enjoyed. The odd thing is, as meticulous as Charles is about labeling things, there was no mention of this special being on the tape. Go figure. I'm taking the rest of the night off, but I'm sorting through some things. You will certainly enjoy some "new" stuff I'm in the process of cataloging.

@@reelblack hopefully you have yourself a peaceful, humbled happy new year yourself as I am about to take a snooze nap shortly. Tippity tappity tap tap toe tapping back to my room and doing my napping countdown in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and Takes a bow! 👞🎩

Look out for some of my favorite tap dancer savion glover's rare content that I will upload shortly. I'm sure you will be pleased with the content as I am.

& My Favorite The Nicholas Brothers. 🙏

Mine, too!

I would have loved to sit down and talk to him, about anything. I think he would have been a cool dude to hang out with.

You were fortunate indeed!

We lost Gregory way to young 😢

He is too damn fly not to be attracted to him.

It's upto all of us who tap not to give up. Even during this pandemic. It's upto people of each generation to consider this a work of art. Also to pass this down to other generations. To all the youth out there, don't let your family convince you that music and dance is a waste. People don't realize that the arts is a way of not only entertaining, but communicating too. By this l mean it also teaches you how think faster through listening by hearing different sounds, how to use math, not to have a fear of success, to be more attentive, while making you successful and confident as you grow!

Gregory,Sammy,Bunny,Sandman the Nicolas Bros and Rico were absolutely amazing and the pictures I have, I will cherish all my life long.

When I saw some old videos of the Nicholas Brothers I was thinking the same thing. They were break dancing before anyone knew what break dancing was.

I love her.. she is so underrated

It was syndicated to local stations.

That's when it started. In the 80's the street dancers were doing it taught it to MJ in 81 and he debuted it at the Motown 25th Anniversary for Billy Jean in 83.

His brother died in 2006. At the time of filming here, Fayard was at a a career high of sorts on his own. He had a great role in William Wyler's last film "The Liberation of L.B. Jones"; he had won a Tony Award for choreographing "Black And Blue" on Broadway.

In terms of the tappers unfortunately only the boy and Max GF is alive all the rest have passed on because majority of them where 60-70 anyways so it was amazing they danced how they did but they loved tappin so they got they 2nd wind
