High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tap dance is a form of dance characterized by a tapping sound that is created from metal plates that are attached to both the ball and heel of the dancer's shoe. These metal plates, when tapped against a hard surface, create a percussive sound and as such the dancers are considered to be musicians. During the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, the best tap dancers moved from Vaudeville to cinema and television. Steve Condos, with his innovative style of percussion tap, created a whole new tap style that he introduced to audiences in Vaudeville, and later to the audiences of film and Broadway. Prominent tap dancers of this period included Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Shirley Temple, John W. Bubbles, Charles "Honi" Coles, Vera-Ellen, Ruby Keeler, Gene Kelly, Ann Miller, Jeni LeGon, Fayard and Harold Nicholas of the Nicholas Brothers, The Clark Brothers, Donald O'Connor, Eleanor Powell, Rita Hayworth, Betty Grable, Prince Spencer, Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, and Jimmy Slyde. ...

Excerpt: "Tap Dogs" is a tap dance show, created by Australian dancer and choreographer, Dein Perry. The original production of the show had its world premiere in January 1995 at the Sydney Theatre Festival in Australia. Due to the unique and original staging ideas featured in the show, the Tap Dogs are often recognized within the dance community, as having revolutionized the way tap dance is presented to a modern day audience and subsequently, different variations of the show are now performed in major cities around the World, with numerous dance companies attempting to emulate the tap style seen in the show. Whilst the original stage show achieved International acclaim, the Tap Dogs are most famous for their performances at the opening ceremony of the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. The original production of "Tap Dogs" was 80 minutes long with no interval and featured six Australian men performing non-stop tap dance routines on a set that was designed to appear like a construction site. The staging of the show was intended to represent the steel making community in which the original dancers had grown up, whilst also appealing to the modern dance audience. It is recognized for its simple costuming of faded jeans, lumberjack shirts, vests and baseball caps, although the key feature and 'trademark' of the Tap Dogs, are the specially modified boots that the dancers wear. These are in fact 'Blundstone' boots, one of Australia's most iconic brands. The company is an official supporter of the show Worldwide and provides boots with specially prepared soles, fitted with metal plates to the toe and heel areas, which are then 'beaten' on the ground to create the 'tap' sounds. The primary theme of the show Alone, in groups and all together these ni... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=11082281 ... Read more

Wonderful!
I love this book!This is the touching story of a relationship between a young girl and her grandfather, and how their love of dance forms a bond between them that is enduring.

The story is perfectly pitched for children, including those learning to read.The rhythm and cadence of the dance steps wind their way into the narrative, giving the story a pace and liveliness.The story itself is warm, with a tenderness that stays authentic and accessible for kids, without crossing the line into becoming sugary.I think most children could easily relate to Emma and her love for her grandfather, and the author does a wonderful job of showing a child's perspective on their relationship.Emma shows us first how her grandfather kindles the love of dance in her, their special connection as a result, her uncertainty about how to handle the changes in his memory, her happiness in finding a way to still connect with him, and then her simple acceptance of giving the same gift of dance back to her grandfather in her own turn.Adults will also feel and appreciate all the emotional undercurrents that don't have to be spelled out in the story.The vibrant illustrations bring the perfect touches of charm and humor.

This book is perfect for any child who has a special relationship with an older family member, including those trying to understand changes such as Alzheimer's.But, no special situation is required to enjoy this book, it is an enjoyable read for any and all.My daughter and I love this book, and I highly recommend it!

Tender story of a girl and her grandfather who is suffering from memory impairment and how they "remember" together
Tip-Tap Pop is a heart-warming story of a young girl and her sweet relationship with her grandfather.From a young age he taught her to dance and to listen to the music all around her.One summer he slowly forgets everything and sits in his chair all day.Emma is sad and so are her feet.She doesn't feel like dancing anymore. With patience Emma helps grandpa's feet remember how to dance.That is enough for her that sometimes his feet remember.

Sarah Lynn's use of sound and meter make this a fun read.Although an unconventional topic for a children's book, it is a story that will touch adults and children alike whether or not they know someone suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's.It teaches valuable lessons while still being entertaining. Valeria Docampo's vivid drawings make the characters come to life and jump off the page. ... Read more
