Description
Tap dancer Sarah Petronio discusses the terms "jazz tap" and "rhythm tap," and her preference for a "jazz mode" in dancing. She remembers her childhood in India, where she began dancing and developed a taste for jazz music in cosmopolitan Bombay. After immigrating to New York, she studied tap dancing with Henry Le Tang, but only began to find her own style after moving to Paris. She credits Jimmy Slyde with freeing her from the prevalent conception of tap dancing as set routines. She discusses improvisation in tap dancing, and the importance of collaboration and communication between dancers and musicians.
