I saw my first tap dance at an outdoor theater in San Francisco when I moved there in 1973. I was absolutely mesmerized by it. I’d never seen anything like it.
I thought these folks dancing in the White House were good, but not the best. Of course, I trip over my own feet, so who am I to criticize? Tap dancing is SO energetic that they have to be absolutely exhausted but they never show it. It’s always impressive.
When I was a kid, nobody took dance classes without learning tap.
