I love that the phrasing makes it seem like a wedding announcement -- as though they've married and Dan Radcliffe took Weird Al Yankovic's last name

It took me about 15 seconds in to realize what was happening in this vid, but the second I did, I legit came. This is… I got chills and got so much validation for my theories about tap and pretty much any genre of music here…

[telegantmess]

Tap is probably one of the dance styles that gets the least amount of credit four how badass it is

[royalnugget42]

Holy hell-

[enigmatic-mystery-777]

Sorry I don’t get it?

They’re tap dancing, a kind of dancing typically associated with being old-fashioned and kind of silly. Personally, even tap dancing to old music is awesome in my eyes, but this is on a totally new and exciting level

[amuseoffyre]

The thing about tap is that it’s so often seen as a fancy, old-fashioned dainty dance that only posh (and generally white) people do in tuxedos but it didn’t used to be the case.

Way back in the early days, it was where black performers in Vaudeville were legendary for it in Jazz and Jive routines. At about 1:37, this is where the Nicholas brothers go off.

It’s such an expressive and joyful kind of dance and matches so well with hip hop beats and rhythm, which is why the modern reworking of it is so awesome.

In case anyone is wondering…

This is Chloe Arnold and her group, The Syncopated Ladies. Go follow their IG! She is completely self taught and because of it has created her own unique style of tapping. She choreographed a killer routine to Formation and Doves Cry.

The history of tap dance is uniquely African American, much in the same way swing dance is. Slave owners took away the drums, so another way to keep the rhythm alive was found.

Nowadays tap has branch off into two styles: Broadway and street (or rhythm). Both pay homage to their roots in different ways.

Hip hop evolved out of tap dance btw (not solely, it had many other influences but you can see how bringing hip hop back into tap is extremely natural).

“He seemed to have expert knowledge of exactly the sort of noise they make, and so I didn’t push the subject any further…” - Peter Jackson

[doris-wildthyme]

People used to ask him about the kind of missions he went on as a member of the Special Operations Executive during World War Two. He’d look from side to side and ask them “Can you keep a secret?”. When they assured him that they could, he would lean in conspiratorially and whisper “So can I.”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: WWII spy movie featuring only real historical figures who later became famous for unrelated reasons and coincidentally were over 6 feet tall WHEN

Of course, he could never appear in the Harry Potter films as a wizard as it would have contravened the Statute of Secrecy

This is the future. Three hundred years from now, we are here. We are marching. And this is the first step. When we see you, we see ourselves, and we see ourselves as intelligent and beautiful and proud. You turn on your television and the news comes on and you see us marching and peaceful, you see the peaceful civil disobedience, and you see the dogs and see the fire hoses, and we all know they cannot destroy us because we are there in the 23rd century. - Martin Luther King Jr.

Whoopi Goldberg was nine years old the first time she saw an episode of Star Trek. In one of her first meetings with Gene Roddenberry, Goldberg recounted to the creator how the first time she saw Uhura onscreen she went running through her house calling ‘Come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!’

Mission accomplished, Nichelle Nichols. Thank you.

“Well, when I was nine years old, Star Trek came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.” — Whoopi Goldberg

Rest in peace Nichelle Nichols, December 28th 1932- July 31st 2022

“Last night, my mother, Nichelle Nichols, succumbed to natural causes and passed away. Her light however, like the ancient galaxies now being seen for the first time, will remain for us and future generations to enjoy, learn from, and draw inspiration.” - nichellenicholsofficial
