It s not about us,is it ? It is really about you and your passion for Tap dance.
Hooferz are tap dancers who dance primarily "closer to the floor", using mostly their footwork and not showing very much arm or body movement. This kind of tap dancing, also called "rhythm tap".
To say that Hooferz promotes tap dance in all his forms is true, that's the essence of what we do but it hardly tells the whole story... our website has become a beacon of Tap lovers from everywhere.
I love this guy. My favorite dance team all my life, Bill and Shirley. This man had it all, artistic genius, courage, social conscience, generosity, humility and greatness of soul. Thank God for these glories!
EVERY TAP ON BEAT AMAZING 100 YEARS LATER NO ONE CAN TAP LIKE HIM CANT BE IMITATED SORRY THE BEST WHO EVER DID IT SOME TRY BUT DIDNT SUCCEED ,,RIP BOJANGLES ROBINSON,,,
So many great talents should have been given more and better opportunities to shine even brighter, but were held back by segregation and racism. Such an amazing dancer!!
He makes it look *easy* and *effortless*. Thats true mastery. And I know their active years barely line up, but I wish Bill Robinson and Gene Kelly had gotten to dance together. That would have been a truly *epic* dance.
i came here because i watched the video of Alice Barker, who was one of the dancers in the back. when i was a pupil, one of my classmates convinced our sports teacher to do the tap dance with our class. i've been maximum demoralized about this idea, wanted to practice rather ruff sports than dancing. i had no idea what i've missed. because i've never seen any good tap dances back then. now i am thirtyfive. is it to late to give it a chance and join Mr. Bill Robinson in a dance? ;-)
Astaire, Kelly can't even polish his shoes ... in a class by himself way far above ... his bad luck was that he was a black man in the white master's world. Mr. Bojangles ... dance. 🙏
He MAY have been a better tap dancer than Fred but as an all-around dancer - there is no contest. FACT. Ask the experts(people who know about these things).
Bill Robinson was as good on his right as his left it's like his feet had a mind of it's own. Amazing that he was tap dancing with so much energy in his late fifties in 1934.
