The Nicholas Brothers, We Sing and we Dance. This is so great. I love tap! It is such an amazing dance form, in all it's forms. No matter the nature of the performance, however shallow or superficial it may seem, it is never merely entertainment as the origin and roots of the dance will inevitable be present in there somewhere- in the sounds, the movement, the energy. It is electrical and contagious... In the Fellini film Ginger e Fred (one of my favourites), a kind of homage to this dance tradition, there is a beautiful moment where the Marcello Mastroianni character explains: "Sarebbe ora di fare un discorso serio sul tip-tap, perché non e mica soltanto un ballo, era l'alfabeto morse degli schiavi negri, una specie di telegrafo senza fili. Nella piantagione di cottone gli schiavi negri non potevano parlare fra di loro perché se parlavano invece di lavorare il guardiano zac, la pelle gli staccava. Allora che ti fa lo schiavo negro? Comunica con il compagno di sventura in questo modo." [It's time to have a serious discourse on tap dancing because it is in fact not only a dance, it was the morse alphabet of the black slave, a kind of wireless telegraph. In the cotton plantations the black slaves could not talk amongst themselves because if they talked instead of working then the guardian zap! whipped their skin off. So what did the black slave do? He communicated with his misfortunate companions in this way.]
