Wow! Amazing performance Tom, and just the right degree of playfullness. All the hours of sweat don't show at all. If you like this you should check out the original Fred Astaire version-you would love it. By the way the song in the main part is "Nice Work if You Can Get It" by George and Ira Gershwin.
I don't think it is possible to NOT be entertained by this. Being a tapdancer and drummer, I can appreciate both, but I never thought of putting them together. I have thoroughly enjoyed this.
sorry, started noticing mistakes at 2:57, then @ 3:29 ,doozie @ 3:56 editing errors maybe? oh well watched it all just the same.... no one 'll catch it ,teehee
I LOVE IT!!!!! Reninds me of the Fred Astaire routine with the drums. Where did you get the music? "Nice Work If You Can Get It". My favorite kind of music for tap!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!!
Thanks for posting! So wonderful to see someone carrying on in the true Rhythm dancing traditions! I love the dancing - unfortunately the camera work was HORRIBLE! Fred Astaire was SO right on insisting full body shots of dancers. He said something like, "Either I dance or the camera dances - not both". I feel like I missed out on the full beauty of Tom's dancing because of the cuts and close ups. Too bad. But he is terrific!
im a tapper always have been plan on going big THIS GUY IS MY HERO TOM CHAMBERS SAVION GLOVER GREGORY HINES i want to be like them whats that first song? anyone know the beat is sick
ya man i thought micheal flatley was amzing, i mean dont get me wrong he is great for tht style of tap, but that was until i watched the gods of tap like the nicholas bros, savion, and hines, omg!!! but this guy is tods wicked!!
Would be interesting to know how many takes were needed ... quite many, based on the frequency of view changes ... or alternatively the director was too much influenced by MTV editing. However, nice to watch - but would've been more impressive if the whole thing would've recorded with just one take and the picture would've shown the whole dancer from toes to the head from the beginning to the end.
he taught himself that and sent it off as an audition tape, its what got him his job on holby. i think thats incredible i would never be able to teach myself that!
Hooray I am so very happy and chuffed that Tom has won Strictly Come Dancing trophy. Tom is a brilliant, wonderful dancer, absolutely World Class. He truly deserved to win the final.
That man is something else! Totally gorgeous and brilliantly talented. MUST win Strictly. I am a huge fan of Holby and am going to be gutted when he leaves.
This is lovely. Tom is a bobby dazzler. In gorgeous black and white, too. What a treat! I love black and white. I'm so old I can remember seeing Ken Barlow when he was in black and white and had short back and sides!
I cant even explain how giddy i was watching Strictly tonight, to see them finally weave this inredible routine into what he's already been doing. I swear, they need to have a week where he's allowed to go full bore tapping. I know the show is ballroom but..look at him go!!
Dutchy this video above is a different form of dance to what you see on SCD,the routine,on the video,shows talent,technique and light heartedness... Have you ever seen Fred Astaire's version. Your totally missing the concept. The said video was an audition piece and he succeeded with it,just ask the BBC,who gave him a job!
All that looks impressive derives from hours of effort,it's a huge compliment if anyone thinks your too good to be on SCD,so good luck to Tom and keep strong. What an opportunity to appear on such a show,I wouldn't say no... but they wouldn't say yes!!!!
Rachel Stevens attended a drama school where she trained in; Song,drama and dance. She also danced while in the group S Club 7(later known as S Club). Last years winner also had some form of dance experience,so I agree with teelyceely that many people on SCD have had some dance experience. Tom hadn't danced for 5 years prior to SCD,to be as excellant as he was obviously he's worked pretty hard and should be praised and not condemned and remember he's having to learn to dance with a partner also.
good mix of classic and contemporary...great.
