About Tap

Introduced by Gregory Hines, who shares his childhood memories of watching and imitating the tap dance greats at the Apollo Theater, ABOUT TAP features simply staged but bravura performances that display this engaging and graceful art at its finest. The films asks the question, "How does an artist discover his own individual style?" Through their recollections and performances, each of the featured dancers offers a distinctive and highly entertaining answer.
