Tomekia Lemons says:
Mr. Bojanles is the tap dancer of all time. Yes, there are other great dancers like Sammy Davis Jr. and Miss Shirley Temple herslef and Fred Astaire. Although, no one can top or even leave a mark on history of tap dance or entertainment like Mr.Bojangles!

Don't really know Mr. Bojanles, other than I saw him in a Sherlly Temple movie once and there's a song about him.

Fred Astaire
TheWhistler says:
I know about Bill "Bojangles" Robinson
Fred Astaire did a tribute to him in the movie "Shall We Dance." Many people consider it one of Mr. Astaire's best dances. It was entitled "Bojangles of Harlem"
However, being more familiar with Mr. Astaire's dancing I will have to vote for him.
Frankly you can't really compare them, they where involved in a different kind of dance.

I've seen almost all of Fred's movies. TMC did a Fred Astaire movie marathon a few weeks ago.

I love Fred Astaire! He's one of my fave actors, and he's my second fave dancer after Mikhail Baryshnikov, who's the greatest dancer EVER!!

Learn To Tap Dance DVD
With this video, it was my goal to not forget what it was like to be an 'absolute beginner' in learning tap, and make the instruction as clear as possible, while still moving at a pace fast enough to keep the user engaged and challenged.
Each step is meticulously broken down and explained the process of creating the sounds, with an emphasis on correct body placement and accurate rhythm. Every step is taught and rehearsed with the right and left foot.
Every exercise is presented at 2 tempos: slow at first, then faster the second time through. Comments and helpful hints are given between each repetition.
You can clearly see my feet from the side camera angle in each and every exercise.
You can also see an on-screen display of the musical counts, for those of you who are visual learners.
Most importantly, the goal of the video is not to show you someone tap dancing and leaving it to you to guess how to do it, but to show you a way to develop for yourself a clear and definite technique for all of the basics of tap.
Happy tapping!
Dictionary of Tap
During his career as a dancer, teacher, and choreographer, the author collected tap-dancing terminology, steps, combinations, and stories about their provenance. His teacher, Louis DaPron, was his inspiration for starting this project, the source of much of his information, and the originator of the notation for writing down how the steps are done. Knowles' later research consisted of searching old books and articles for names of steps, and personal interviews with people in the tap field. Primarily a record of steps, this volume does not have entries on performers or other aspects of the field. It will not teach readers how to tap. It does, however, give the basic information necessary for dancers to perform the steps, from A,B,C Step to Zink.
Tap steps can be named for the way they sound when danced, the way they look, the person who created them, or the place they originated. Many tap steps have several names, and these are cross-referenced. Entries are broader than just tap. A few terms come from ballet but are used in tap dancing (cabriole, pas de Basque). Entries explain and describe many ballroom dances (boogie woogie, bunny hop, rumba, waltz), folk dances (clog dancing, polka, schottische), and African American dances (black bottom cake walk). Some entries include brief historical information.
This unique reference book will be a welcome addition to academic libraries supporting curricula in dance and theater arts, and public libraries with comprehensive dance collections. While concentrating on notation, it also sheds some light on a slice of the history of popular dance in America. Other libraries may purchase as needed.
