Tap,tap,shuffle,tap.......Oops! Hey! Didn't see you there,I was just practicing a few moves.The name's Luther ("Don't call me that") Robinson, but I changed it to Bill when I was younger.I'm mostly known as Bojangles.Mr. Bojangles to you. I changed tap dance from a flat-footed dance to a style that push the dancer to his toes. Yes, I made a new kind of tap dance. I did films like "Stormy Weather" with Ms. Lena Horne, Cab Calloway and Katherine Dunham and her dance troupe. I also did "The Little Colonel" with little Shirley Temple. I still think I can run backwards faster than most men can go forward, but I guess people don't believe me. Ha but everything copasetic!

  1. I feel in every one of your dances, lives your heart and soul. I feel like you have fun with something you love to do.

  2. I am a painter, but in your case you use your feet as you brush. You took a unique style of dance, and improved it.
