National Tap Dance Day

[ 0 ] May 25, 2024 |

rapataptapIt is Bill “Bojangles” Robinson’s birthday today (1878-1949). He was a dance legend, perhaps the greatest tap dancer who ever lived. He started dancing at age 6 and continued dancing most of his life. National Tap Dance Day celebrates him and honors tap dance as a uniquely American art form.

Celebrate this day.
- Play your favorite music and get your kids up and dancing.
- Read your kids Rap A Tap Tap by Leo and Diane Dillon about Bojangles’s life.
- Introduce your kids to some amazing dancing. Watch the films Singin’ in the Rain (1952) or The Band Wagon (1953) with Fred Astaire.
- Watch Sesame Street - Let’s Make Music (2000) and see the amazing dance troupe, STOMP.
