The benefits of tap dancing are as varied as the music, routines, improvisations, and dancers themselves. Men, women, and youth, like the iconic Bill Bojangles Robinson, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Gregory Hines, Dianne “Lady Di” Walker, Sam Weber, Savion Glover, and Shirley Temple, have all made timeless contributions to the art of American percussive dance and rhythm. Their legacy, creativity and generosity inspire tap dancers worldwide.
