Celebrating National Tap Dance Day by honoring the incredible legacy of Bill “Bojangles” Robinson! 🎉🕺✨

Bojangles, born on May 25, 1878, was not only one of the most famous tap dancers in history but also a true trailblazer who left an indelible mark on the world of dance and beyond. His contributions and impacts are countless:

- Dance Innovations: Bojangles revolutionized tap dance with his signature “stair dance” and elegant, smooth style that brought tap to new heights. His rhythm and precise footwork set a new standard in the world of dance.
- Broadway Pioneer: He was the first African American to headline a mixed-race Broadway show, breaking racial barriers and paving the way for future generations of performers.
- Hollywood Star: Bojangles danced alongside Shirley Temple in several beloved films, becoming a household name and showing the world the power and beauty of tap dance.
- Humanitarian Efforts: He used his fame to support the African American community, organizing and performing in benefits for charities, hospitals, and advocating for civil rights.
- Military Service: Bojangles served in World War I, entertaining troops and boosting morale with his performances.
- Cultural Icon: His legacy continues to inspire dancers worldwide, and he was posthumously awarded a special Tony Award in 1989 for his contributions to the art of tap dance.

Today, we honor Bojangles and his lasting impact on the arts and society. Keep tapping your way to greatness!

ALL ARTS - Voices Rising: What’s Next for Asian Americans in the Arts? - link in my bio!

Drums - Mikiya Ito

When I first got an offer, I thought of if I’m the right fit for this. I’m not American. And even if I get a green card I don’t consider myself to say I’m Asian American. I don’t experience the same thing as Asian people who were born and raised here does.
This is my 8th year in the US. I had so many experiences that I would never had if I stayed in Japan. I have home there and home here. I performed this opportunity as an Asian artist who are willing to stay here to pursue my dream and live my life in that dream
