George Nierenberg's brilliant and blissful followup to No Maps on my Taps is introduced by Gregory Hines, who shares his childhood memories of watching and imitating the tap dance greats at the Apollo Theater. ABOUT TAP features stylistic performances and recollections by three of America’s leading male tap dancers: Steve Condos, Jimmy Slyde and Chuck Green. In the film, Condos thinks of himself as an instrumentalist who focuses on the ankles and feet, Jimmy Slyde thinks of “visual dancers” who “all make pictures” and Chuck Green advises using port de bras. Each dancer answers the question: “How does an artist discover his/her own individual style?”
For his contribution to the art, Nierenberg was awarded in 2014 the American Tap Dance Foundation's Tap Preservation Award, given to an outstanding individual or organization in the field for the superior advancement of tap dance through presentation and preservation.

This barre is for the advanced dancer or any dancer that wants a full body challenge. It is a warm-up for the day, before a rehearsal, or in preparation for a performance. Taught at a fast pace, it focuses on the articulation and presentation of the legs and feet while keeping the upper body lifted and calm and the core stable.
By approaching the barre with an entire body awareness and a particularly responsive plié to the changes in the pianist’s tempo and rhythm, musicality becomes another important focus in this class.
Megan directly notes some additional thoughts for those taking this class:
“The dancer should use the Épaulment, finding beautiful positions for the neck, cheekbones, and the face in relation to collarbones, back, and the arms (and of course the rest of the body).
You should try to display all the fingers as the individual members they are without creating a floppy aesthetic... this is quite a challenge... And of course, remember to keep the elbows lifted, the arms in front of your torso, and the greatest elongation of the legs, even as you fight for speed and try to remain secure in balances.
Everything originates from a very crossed fifth, so keeping the inner things and the rotation of the legs engaged is absolutely necessary.
By the end of the barre the dancer should be aware of their placement, both sides of their body, and feel “on their leg”, so to speak.
Approach the class with a strong technical purpose. But don’t forget the lyrical and beautiful feeling of dancing to the music from the beginning to the end.
And remember, you are preparing your body to be on display for an audience (if you are a professional dancer) so the way you work should show that you have taken into account presenting yourself in the most strong and beautiful way possible!”
Music: Miro Migliore
