Tap dance is a percussive dance dating back to the early 1800s developed primarily from African and Irish influences.  May 25 is actually the birthday of Bill ‘Bojangles' Robinson, a significant contributor to tap dance. Some other of the art form's most talented dancers includ Fred Astaire, Gregory Hines, Ginger Rogers and Savion Glover.  At the turn of the 20th century, it became an important feature of popular Vaudeville variety shows. Tap dancers started incorporating complex syncopated rhythms into their movements.  in fact...Tap dancing can be used as a secret language to communicate with Morse code.

Welcome to May 25, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate inspirational libations and moving to the beat of happy feet. According to Greek mythology, there were twelve gods who lived on Mount Olympus. Of the twelve, only one was part human. Dionysus held a special place for the Greeks, not only because his mother was human, but also because he created wine. This magical beverage, like Dionysus himself, could bring both joy and inspiration to those who drank it. It could, of course, also bring drama and craziness into people's lives—which is why the ancient Greeks considered the really zealous followers of Dionysus to be dangerous. But luckily they didn't ruin it for the rest of us. On National Wine Day, celebrate with a glass of this heavenly libation. Like so many things in American culture, tap dance is a melding of immigrant traditions. Irish step dancing, performed with clogs, and African juba dance, which involves rhythmic clapping and stomping combined to form the basis for a new form of dance. Tap dancing merged aspects of both dances, but added metal to the bottom of shoes, giving each step a musical quality. And that combination created a style of dance unlike any other. Vaudeville popularized tap, but it was made famous by Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, who added a bit of ballroom flair to the mix. Astaire's dance in Singin' In the Rain may be the most memorable tap performance ever. Celebrate National Tap Dance Day by watching an old musical or by learning a few steps for yourself.

These Two Days Favor The Spirit Of The Mashup, Whether It's Dance Cultures Or Viticulture. Welcome to May 25th, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate a dance step mashup and the spirit of the vine.  Like so many things in American culture, tap dance is a melding of immigrant traditions. Irish step dancing, performed with clogs, and African juba dance, which involves rhythmic clapping and stomping combined to form the basis for a new form of dance. Tap dancing merged aspects of both dances, but added metal to the bottom of shoes, giving each step a musical quality. And that combination created a style of dance unlike any other. Vaudeville popularized tap, but it was made famous by Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, who added a bit of ballroom flair to the mix. Astaire's dance in Singin' In the Rain may be the most memorable tap performance ever. Celebrate National Tap Dance Day by watching an old musical or by learning a few steps for yourself. Now I'm not exactly a wine connoisseur, but I will say I have tried them all.  That would include both red AND white.  Okay, so I'm no expert, but for those of you who are, this day was made for you! The earliest origins of viticulture or wine making were found in modern day Georgia over 8000 years ago.  That would be the Georgia located in Eastern Europe, where they buried clay vessels filled with fermented grape juice for up to 50 years.  So the next time you're surrounded by experts who are sniffing, gargling and spitting the good stuff you'll have something intelligent to add. On National Wine Day, it's okay to just drink the stuff too.  I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

BLACK LIVES MATTER. Period. This episode was recorded a month ago, days after the murder of George Floyd here in Minneapolis. It has been difficult to formulate the words that express how I feel. It has been difficult to find the words that I feel will be valuable to the conversation. I have been doing a lot of listening. I will continue to listen. I believe Black Lives Matter and that we all have a lot of work ahead of us. It is important to learn, to grow, to call people out when they are in the wrong, to speak up when you see racism or hear someone tell a racist joke. I added a link below to a document that I first saw on Dianne "Lady Di" Walker's Facebook page. Please check out this Anti-racism Resources Document: bit.ly/ANTIRACISMRESOURCES It contains a wealth of links to articles and websites to learn more about how you can help. BLACK PEOPLE CREATED TAP DANCING. Period. Please stop spreading lies and learn about tap's rich and vivid history. As tap dancers we have been given a beautiful gift. People fought and died to bring this dance to us. Learn about them and their stories. You will become a much better tap dancer every time you do. With this podcast it is my aim to continue to learn, amplify a diversity of voices, and bring people's stories to my world-wide audience. Questions? Comments? Ideas?
