Savion Glover

[SurgeCess]

Savion GOES OFF at 0:25, dude is so talented.

[manubirutans]

I did almost cry! :O

[SurgeCess]

lovin this, savion is amazing

[nulight22]

Praying for young Savion as a person and artist - We Need to see more of this guy!

[radiodiva2008]

I pray that more young people take interest in tap...so that the history of this art lives on. Savion has the power to inspire the next Sammy Davis Jr., Gregory Hines etc. Keep doing your thing brother, Much respect!

[daughterofdarthvader]

@radiodiva2008

agreed. as a young tapper, i pray that people will keep this percussive art form alive. it's so disheartening to see how many people truely do not care about tap.

[Ilovetherush94]

This guy is amazing. He is carrying on the legacy of sammy davis. gregory hines, and the ones before him. I mean his footwork is so precise.....i love it!

[DominoDee]

He carries on a great tradition.Sammy Davis,Gregory Himes and now he cotinues.The Tap!!!:^)

[x1235791113x]

the music is shostakovich's 8th string quartet, movment 3.

[jetixspeed]

He is a clown or a Joker?

[karab118]

i love savion glover he is my tap idol i wish i could tap like himm and i hope to do so eventually one day =]]]]

[bboyburnarsk]

LOL

this person is a joker

but true i guess this has now has no relevance to the video

leavin it now HAHA

[bboyburnarsk]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOO lol

yo this person is great to argue with

you use messenger at all???

pm me

[Shurayuki18481]

You just want to have the last word which I intend to not let you have.

[bboyburnarsk]

savion is still a dancerrrrrrrr looooooool

[Shurayuki18481]

he's a hoofer and leave it at that loooooool

[bboyburnarsk]

OK AGREED GREGORY IS THE BEST LOL

the master of it all

i prefer his style anyway

im just saying that savion is quite clearly on a higher level than anyone technically ...

if youd like to show him how to dance thought itd be much appreciated...

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK TO CHUCK GREEN BY THE WAY????

[Shurayuki18481]

I don't know why you keep insisting that he dances when he doesn't. Are you drunk again?

Dancing requires the use of the entire body, tapping requires the use of the feet which Savion does ONLY...understand? He is great technically with his feet, we understand that now.

I like Chuck Green, very different, hoofing still but at least the presentation is nice :)

[bboyburnarsk]

sod it

when your in the UK

im challenging you

and then lone behold youll steal my steps

LOOOOOOOOOOL

no internet arguing over such a beautiful artform i apologize but i have a high emotional quotient and i was drunk earlier so over the top...never mind haha

[bboyburnarsk]

the days of happy feet is in the past...

i am constantly told to do all this fake smiley/ballet arms and posture by the old dears that run the exam boards in the uk

its fucked up man... bollucs its all about getting into the ground and FEELING the music

tap dancer does not mean ACTOR

hey man just so you know though i do have to do the style your on about but i honestly know to experience that HOOFING is the real sh** full stop

peace

[Shurayuki18481]

Savion Glover is the greatest tapper (hoofer) not greatest Tap DANCER.

[bboyburnarsk]

that shurayuki doesnt know what they are chatting about haha

he/she sounds like one of these old dears that judge amateur competitions in the uk...

LISTEN to the music and if you want expression look at the guys face!

fool

[Shurayuki18481]

I know what I am talking about, I am a her not a they. From someone coming from the UK you certainly have bad construction of English don't you? I never asked for expression and yes the music is wonderful and very eclectic but that wasn't my point. FOOL

[Shurayuki18481]

I respect his style, I honestly do, but he isn't the best out there. You have to keep it light, joyous and syncopated, a concept tappers have lost.

[calito44]

Wow .... somebody who has the courage to say what some people think but do no dare to say(including me I afraid so) I also admire the incredible talent that he has but I think he does not exactly follow the music, in all the videos I've seen the music has to follow him and becuase this sometimes does not happen, at times sounds weird. Do not get me wrong he is great but for a more complete tap dancer my taste go for Gregory Hines....

[Shurayuki18481]

I think so too :)

[Shurayuki18481]

I have to say yes he has immense fast moves but they're so shockingly awful and rigid, not to mention his posture.

[sdccuties]

omg savion os my idol. ♥ him 4 ever!

[manutabora]

Is this Shostakovich's quartet No. 8? Sounds familiar but I can't recall exactly what it is.

[x1235791113x]

yeah, movement 3

[msnkscom]

Looking great!!!!

Take care.

[mrstmccoy]

YeaAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cartoonprincessML]

i love the rythm

[sophisticatedsoles]

yes sir.:)

[taviusjr]

WOW!!!! I Love him...

[JNickS33]

whoa. he's so cool man.

[humo77]

he!

[chauncydancer123]

absolutly amaizng i hope i can tap like him in the future

[physhythoughts]

I want to marry Savion Glover. He is my god. I wish I could tap half as good as him. Damn it.

[nytwin4life]

lol... i know right, he is amazazing

[thundertwisty]

this movie right here was at a show and i was there. Yup, front row. He kept smiling at me. I am a tap dancer too, but i will never be this good.

[JosephNScott]

Savion is the best tapper ever. And let's not wait until he's dead to say so.

[chgosatrap]

actually, that would be Peg Leg Bates (dude lost a leg BEFORE he became a tap dancer!), Cab Calloway, Nicholas Brothes, the Hines Famiy (Gregory, Maurice and their dad), Sammy Davis Jr., and all the other people Savion studied.

[Kissy731]

Peg Leg Bates? I gotta go look that up!

[chgosatrap]

check some of my lists; also check a poster named jumaanetaylor.

[bettina825]

This man had some of the best mentors in the business.. and he is AMAZING!!!!

[Hollywoodlpc]

I was definitely here at this thing it was DC at Strathmore RIGHT!!!

[kuroasai]

damn cool ><

[shadowherb]

I don't even know a gay male tap dancer, and I know... at least 15.

[rhawkins003]

Ain't that America. Adding syncopation to everything.

Laugh if you get it.  Great clip.

[Vangaurdius]

Good tap dancing. Interesting style too. Glad to see other male tap dancers out here these days.

[cdr415]

This is to all the males that thinks tap is gay. BUDDY RICH, BEST DRUMMER WHO EVER LIVED...TAPPED, GREGORY HINES, BEST TAPPER THAT EVER LIVED...MALE, AND FINALLY SAVION GLOVER, BEST TAPPER ALIVE...MALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best are all male. (That doesn't mean that females sucks)

[bettina825]

please don't leave out Sammy Davis Jr.

[kyosballerina]

Wow...Savion is amazing!

[Pillowchii]

Wow...he's acting as the only percussion for the music...it fits perfectly. This is stunning. I love Savion so, SO much!

[jonbankrupt]

you're the fucking fag, riding on your skateboard

[annsuerto]

you would say something that stupid wouldn't you?

[PouredFusion]

Your comment just solidified your misunderstanding for most things in life

[SNAPPKRAKLPOP]
