The legendary Tap Master and National Treasure Teddy Hale in a circa 1950 TV performance.
We know that Hale was a major influence on Gregory Hines and his dance style.
Also an influence on the styles of many up and coming tap dancers of his time.
Notice the breadth and smoothness of his act.
Enjoy, watch and most importantly Listen to the Rhythmic Musicality of his taps.
Teddy Hale made appearances on the Milton Berle’s Texaco Star Show as well as the Ed Sullivan Show.
