“If everything is taken from you and all is left is your body, you’re going to make art with your body.” Whoa!!! If all is taken from you… all is left is your body!!! A most profound observation of slavery… chilling, heart wrenching, devastating. Thank you…

Loved this piece. My mother-in-law belonged to a tap dance group of retired ladies in their 70s & 80s. They even toured & went to Russia back in their heyday.

When I was a kid in Indianapolis, early 60's. We lived across from a park that had a stage in the park. Every year there would be talent shows, the majority tap dance. Disappeared, not the memory or impression. Thanks

The nickname "sandman" comes from people using sand to shuffle and make sounds without tap shoes. I understand that a short segment can't include all the greats, but I hope that it shows enough history to get the young kids looking at Sammy Davis Jr., Hines and others that are unforgettable. ❤️
