This is a story about tap dancing, a distinctly American art
form that blended English-Scottish-Irish clog dancing with
African tribal dancing. And it’s about a boy, Savion Glover—
who was born to feel the music—to dance and perform and
invent. And to delight and awe audiences with the movements of
his body.
Soul meets sole.
From that day on, Savion danced.
All the time. Not practicin’. Livin.
’Tippity, tippity, tappity, tappity, TROMP, TROMP, TROMP!
Follow Savion's journey as beats crescendos into a love of
dancing as self-expression. This picture book biography
creates music with words and story, and dance with color and
composition. Child and parent can read the rhymes and
onomatopoeia together while enjoying the bold artwork.
Savion Glover revitalized modern tap dancing with his jazz and
hip-hop influenced “free-form hard core” style. From his
appearances on Sesame Street and choreographing Happy Feet to
his Tony award-winning musical Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in
'da Funk, Savion has inspired a new generation of tap dancers.
Read more about his impact on music and dance in the
afterword. Book, 40 pages.
