James Stewart
Some of the Best Tap Dancers That Ever Lived
Bill Robinson ‘Bojangles’ was born in 1878. He began his dancing career when he was 6-years old. At 12-years old he joined ‘The South Before The War’ traveling company. His first performance in front of a white audience did not happen until he was 50-years old. He acted in movies during the 1930s with famous starts like Will Rogers and Shirley Temple. While visiting a dance class, he performed a tap dancing routine for one hour without repeating the same step twice. He insisted that his feet were responding to the music and his head did not know anything about it.
John ‘Bubbles’ Sublett was the greatest improvising dancer of all time. He created a real innovative style of tap dance known as the ‘rhythm tap’. He was 6-years old when he joined up with Ford Lee ‘Buck’ Washington. They worked together as ‘Buck and Bubbles’ until Buck past away in 1955. The team was featured in more than twelve Hollywood productions. After Buck died, he toured with Bob Hope in Vietnam entertaining the troops.
Gene Kelly was born in 1912 in Pittsburgh, PA. He taught dancing in their family-owned studio for six years before moving to New York. He landed his first big break when he was cast in Rodgers and Hart musical ‘Pal Joey.’ He won an honorary Oscar in 1952 for ‘his versatility as an actor, singer, director, dancer and specifically for his brilliant achievements in the art of choreography on film’.
Fred Astaire was born in 1899 in Omaha, NE. He began to dance at the age of seven, with his sister Adele. They danced together until she retired in 1932. He began his movie career in 1933 dancing with Cyd Charisse, Eleanor Powell, Ginger Rogers and Judy Garland. His singing, though untrained, was admired by some of the greatest songwriters at that time. His choreography is famous for its inventiveness, wit and musicality.
Gregory Hines was tap dancing when he was 5-years old. He performed as part of the family act of ‘Hines, Hines and Dad’ with his brother and father. He performed in numerous Broadway productions and in 1992 won a Tony for ‘Jelly’s Last Jam’. He was a great actor and outstanding ‘tap dancer’. In 2001, he starred and produced a Showtime original film, ‘BoJangles’ where he played tap legend Bill Robinson.
Ann Miller born in 1923 started dancing to exercise her legs to help her rickets. When she was 13-years old, Lucille Ball discovered her in San Francisco’s ‘Black Cat Club’. She ended up landing a contract with RKO and becoming famous for her tap dancing abilities. She starred with James Stewart and Jean Arthur in ‘You Can’t Take It With You’ which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 1938.
Eleanor Powell started performing with the Vaudeville Kiddie revue in 1923. She signed with MGM in 1935 and got her first starring role in ‘Broadway Melody of 1936′. Her endless energy, enthusiasm and fantastic dancing delighted the audiences. She danced with Fred Astaire in ‘Broadway Melody of 1940′ to create one of the greatest tap sequences in film history. These are only some of the best tap dancers of all time who have opened the door for other dancers who want to get in the business
