Hoofing in the 21st CenturyRhythm Tap Dancer, Savion Glover and his peers [Gregg Russell, Germaine Salsberg, Mike Wittmers, Mark Goodman, et al] and contemporaries [Tap Dogs, Tap Sounds, Tap Kids, etc.] have continued to work tirelessly to highlight rhythm tap as an artistically challenging and commercially viable dance form. Though very few dancers are able to make a living as hoofers, companies and events, or jams, throughout America and beyond remain dedicated to sound, rhythm, and individuality as integral elements of tap dancing. |

Today, dancers who study rhythm tap quickly find
that thinking on their feet is just as important as
dancing on them. Improvisation continues to give
rhythm tap much of its vitality, as tap jams often
unite dancers, musicians, and spectators. Both
choreographed and improvised rhythm tap operates
outside musical boundaries, simultaneously creating
and utilizing music and beats. Rhythm tapping might
be coupled with any genre of music or instrument and
is often performed a cappella. As a result, it
remains one of dance’s most interesting and
versatile facets, erasing the lines between dancer
and audience or performance and rehearsal. |
