| Abstract | Documentary film about the history of tap dance, an art form struggling to make its way back from nostalgia to current sensation. Choreographer Derick Grant is determined to bring his hip, rousing show to Broadway. The community is abuzz and auditions are in progress, but the pitfalls of commerce, a legacy of racism and misguided assumptions that this cutting-edge dance is a relic from the big band era keeps the show in the wings. |
