Due to technical difficulties with my hosting company this site has been experiencing extreme delays and frequent error messages. I am currently working closely with them to rectify this situation. Thank you for your patience.

Hopefully the site will be functioning normally by this afternoon.

Back in February I wrote a post about how the creator of the Electric Slide was threatening to sue people for doing the dance incorrectly and posting videos of it on YouTube. Here is a link to that post entitled “Creator of Electric Slide Sues!”

Thanks goes to Doug over at the Great Dance Weblog for posting this update to the case. Apparently the guy is backing down…

Happy Tap Day everyone.

Today, May 25th, is National Tap Dance Day…no really! This day was chosen because it is the birthday of the late, great Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, one of the most famous tap dancers of all time.

You can read the inspiring story of how this day came into being HERE!

You can also find the text to the Tap Day Bill, which was signed into law by the elder President George Bush on November 7, 1989, HERE!

Here is a link to the Wikipedia article about Bill “Bojangles Robinson!

And last but not least…you know I had to include a video of “Bo” dancing! In this clip he is dancing with Shirley Temple. (Note: Pay attention to how he mostly dances up on his toes.) He is absolutely amazing on these stairs!

If you know of any special tap dance classes, workshops, or performances taking place for National Tap Dance Day, please post them here!

I came across this great post about drumming and felt these points might also apply to tap dancers. Robert Wallace (aka The Drum Guy) shares his perspectives on the Relevance of Drumming at the “Root Magazine” blog.
