Leon Collins (7 February 1922-16 April 1985)

Leon Collins, a tap virtuoso who inspired a new blend of jazz and classical music, placed an innovative focus on melody rather than rhythm alone, and believed that "Dancing is the poetry of the body as music is the poetry of the soul."

Constance Valis Hill is the author of Tap Dancing America: A Cultural History. She recently composed a chronology of tap dance for the Library of Congress: “Tap Dance in America: A Twentieth-Century Chronology of Tap Performance on Stage, Film, and Media.”
