The Souls of Our Feet:
A Celebration of American Tap Dance
November 17-19, 2006 at the Helm Fine Arts Center
The Supremes, the Temptations, Gladys Knight & The
Pips as well as many more Detroit based recording
artists "got their groove on" working with Cholly
Atkins: the legendary tap master of Coles & Atkins.
Yes, the choreographer of Motown artists from 1953
to 1994 was a tap dancer! If you look closely at the
classic choreography presented in this November's
premiere of The Souls of Our Feet, you'll see the root
of much of American popular culture.
Led by our 21st Century Tap Ambassador Dianne
Walker (Broadway's Black & Blue) special guest Sarah
Petronio and the music of The Eddy Hobizal Jazz Trio,
take a journey with Acia Gray and Tapestry Dance
Company through the classic tap choreography of
Bill 'Bojangles' Robinson, The Nicholas Brothers,
Charles 'Honi' Coles, The Condos Brothers and many
more! New visions of the works of legends and
proteges. It's not only its rhythm it's our history!
