REMEMBERING ‘BOJANGLES’: On May 24th, students from the American Tap Dance Foundation participated in Tap Attack on Hudson River Park’s Pier 45 in celebration of the 16th National Tap Dance Day, observed each year to commemorate the birthday of the legendary Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson. To quote Tony Waag, director of the Foundation, “I want everyone to remember who Gregory Hines was, Donald O’Connor, Honi Coles and the Copasetics…” adding that the annual event was “the perfect occasion to honor those history makers as well as motivate dancers to preserve the art form.”
