Gregory Hines was a child tap dance star at the Apollo by six. Danced on Broadway by seven. And grew up touring the world with his brother Maurice.
But just when it looked like he had it all —
he stepped away.
And when he returned… he didn’t just dance.
He changed the form itself.
He called it Improvography: tap that swung, breathed, and broke the mold.
Tap as jazz. Tap as truth.
From Eubie! to The Cotton Club, White Nights to Tap, this episode traces his rise from child prodigy to genre-shaping icon —
a dancer who didn’t just revive tap… he pulled it into the future.
