Tap Dancing. History and Performance
Description
This program traces the history of tap dancing, featuring a demonstration of various tap dance styles by two masters of the art, Ralph Brown and Chuck Green. Routines include single and double time steps, the cramp roll, the buck and wing, over-the-top and through-the-trenches. The program also examines the origin and development of tap dance in film clips from a 1897 Edison production and other turn of the century film records, and an excerpt from No Man's Land (1931) in which Louis Douglas dances in the style of Bill Robinson.
