Here is the vibrant, colorful, high-stepping story of tap–the first comprehensive, fully documented history of a uniquely American art form, exploring all aspects of the intricate musical and social exchange that evolved from Afro-Irish percussive step dances like the jig, gioube,buck-and-wing, and juba to the work of such contemporary tap luminaries as Gregory Hines, Brenda Bufalino, Dianne Walker, and Savion Glover.In Tap Dancing America , Constance Valis Hill, herself an accomplished jazz tap dancer, choreographer, and performance scholar, begins with a dramatic account of a buck dance challenge between Bill and “Bojangles and ” Robinson and Harry Swinton at Brooklyn’s Bijou Theatre, on March 30, 1900, andproceeds decade by decade through the 20th century to the present day. She vividly describes tap’s musical styles and steps–from buck-and-wing and ragtime stepping at the turn of the century; jazz tapping to the rhythms of hot jazz, swing, and bebop in the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s; to hip-hop-inflectedhitting and hoofing in heels (high and low) from the 1990s right up to today. Tap was long considered and “a man’s game, and ” and Hill’s is the first history to highlight such outstanding female dancers as Ada Overton Walker, Kitty O’Neill, and Alice Whitman, at the turn of the 20th century, as well as thepioneering women composers of the tap renaissance, in the 70s and 80s, and the hard-hitting rhythm-tapping women of the millennium such as Chloe Arnold, Ayodele Casel, Michelle Dorrance, and Dormeshia Sumbry Edwards.Written with all the verve and grace of tap itself, drawing on eye-witness accounts of early performances as well as interviews with today’s greatest tappers, and richly illustrated with over ninety images, Tap Dancing America fills a major gap in American dance history and places tap firmlycenter stage.
