The Lexington Legends baseball team has seen its share of ups and downs – including a head-scratching name change (anybody remember the Counter Clocks?) But now as the city gets ready to celebrate 25 seasons of professional baseball, WUKY's Saving Stories has this look back at how it all began. Nunn Center for Oral History director Dr. Doug Boyd shares audio from a 2019 interview with Alan Stein, who along with other prominent members of the community, led an effort to bring minor league baseball to Lexington. In this portion of the conversation Stein recalls a literal 11th hour curveball his group had to handle before presenting its best case to an MLB franchise expansion committee. It's a story you have to hear to believe.

When he was five years old, Max Pollak had a moment. Sitting in front of a black-and-white television in suburban Vienna, he saw Fred Astaire tap dancing for the first time. “I was so spellbound by his elegance and his effortless swinging persona that I immediately decided I have to learn how to do that,” he remembers. He didn't understand the cultural context or the language, but he knew that whatever was happening on that screen — the rhythm, the movement, the magic — was something he had to pursue. That moment sparked a lifelong journey that would take him from Austria to Harlem to Havana and back again. Here, Max Pollak tells the remarkable story of how he taught himself to dance in a place where no formal tap training existed. Early on, improvisation wasn't just part of his style — it was the only way forward. That instinctive relationship with rhythm would become the foundation of his unique voice as an artist. At 14, Pollak met his first mentor: Carnell Lyons, a master tap dancer from Kansas City who had relocated to Europe during the civil rights era. Lyons had grown up alongside Charlie Parker and had performed with jazz legends. He passed on not only the technical language of tap, but a deep awareness of the art form's Black American roots. That relationship shaped the way Max approached dance — not just as choreography, but as culture. After moving to New York, Max began studying drums and enrolled in Bobby Sanabria's Afro-Cuban ensemble at The New School. It was there that he was asked the question that would redefine his artistic path: Do you want to tap dance to Cuban music — or do you want to tap dance Cuban music? Inspired by that challenge, Pollak dove into Afro-Cuban music, learning the language of clave and fusing it with tap, body percussion, and voice. The result was RumbaTap — a groundbreaking synthesis of traditions that bridges continents and cultures. When members of the legendary Los Muñequitos de Matanzas saw Max perform, they asked him to teach them. That moment affirmed the authenticity of his approach and led to collaborations in Cuba that brought him closer to the source of the music he had been drawn to for so long. Today, Max Pollak is widely recognized as one of the most innovative tap dancers in the world. His contributions to the language of tap, particularly in blending it with Afro-Cuban music and body percussion, have earned him international recognition — including the rare honor of having his image featured on a United States postage stamp. He's also a vocalist, drummer, composer, and storyteller. This week, he celebrates the 25th anniversary of RumbaTap with a special performance at 92NY, featuring members of Los Muñequitos. This episode came together unexpectedly, sparked by a tip from bassist and composer Alexis Cuadrado, who sent me the press release for the 92NY concert. I reached out to Max for a short interview — and the conversation turned out to be so rich and wide-ranging that I decided to share it in full. We talk about lineage, improvisation, spirituality, and what happens when you follow the rhythm only you can hear. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

Derrière le son des claquettes, il y a un sens du rythme, du jeu, de la scène — et beaucoup d'humour.Dans cet épisode, je vous emmène à la rencontre d'Aurélien Lehmann, l'un des plus grands claquettistes français. Chorégraphe, improvisateur, musicien du sol… il transforme chaque pas en note. On parle de son enfance dans un cabaret du Nord, de son amour du jazz, de la solitude sur scène, de la transmission… Et on rit. Beaucoup.

This hour, we’re exploring the history of tap dance in America. Tap was first developed as a fusion of footwork styles with roots in Africa and Ireland. Over the decades, tap legends like Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, Eleanor Powell, and Gregory Hines popularized the artform and brought it to the national stage. Local dancers, choreographers, and teachers join us to discuss how they are keeping the rich legacy of tap dance alive in their work today.

Oh Jack, what have you done...? The On The Ball podcast reacts to an impressive groin stretch from Norwich City's full-back but a less than impressive penalty concession, which resulted in two points dropped in a 1-1 draw with Derby County at the weekend. Once they'd got over that, the panel of Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Dave Powles got to task with praising Sargent (again), anticipating the return of Sainz, and grading the transfer window, and the Canaries' transparent out-with-the-old, in-with-the-young approach (including a new defensive midfielder!). Plus, Vithushan Ehantharajah lauds Darren Eadie, smelly scarves, bleeding fingers, some unrecognisable Simon and Garfunkel, and the only person in the whole of Norfolk to spot Gary Doherty's pre-corner routine...

He questions the trust we place in doctors, scientists, and corporations, critiquing how the same entities that poison our planet preach about health.

After watching the movie Tango de la Muerte Lisa takes up tap dancing and sucks at it until Prof Frink gives her self tapping shoes. Meanwhile Bart and Milhouse instead of going to camp spend over night in the mall trashing it in the process. Wiggum thinks it's the work of a giant rat so unleashes a puma in the mall. And Rob is agast at Andy's Americanised pronunciation of "pooma" - awful awful stuff. [Synopsis at 13:00]

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE with Host & America's #1 Take Action Success Coach & Strategist Lori Anne Casdia chats with Connor Kelly discussing his tap Philly Tap Festival.  Tap dancing originated in the United States in the early 19th century, born from a fusion of African rhythmic traditionsand European step dances like Irish jigs and English clog dancing. Enslaved Africans brought their complex rhythms, often expressed through body percussion, which merged with the footwork of European immigrants.Today, tap dancing continues to evolve, blending with contemporary dance and music styles while staying rooted in its rhythmic and cultural heritage. It's celebrated worldwide for its unique ability to combine rhythm, movement, and storytelling.Tap's history reflects its roots in resilience and creativity, making it not just an art form but a powerful expression of cultural fusion and identity.Conner Kelly is from New Jersey and started Tap Dancing at seven years old with his aunt as his tap teacher. He trained at Jamie's Dance Odyssey under the direction of Jamie Down and then later on with Robin Passmore, who brought him into the rooms with people like Jared Grimes, Harold Cromer, Derrick Grant, Jason Janas, Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards, Ayodele Casel, Chloe & Maud Arnold, and Jason Samuels Smith… Throughout his teens, he trained at the American Tap Dance Foundation, performed at “Broadway Underground” and attended Jersey Tap Fest and DC Tap Fest on scholarships. In 2012, he joined the cast of “Tap Stars,” directed by Jason Janas, where he had the opportunity to perform at the Vancouver Tap Festival and the Kennedy Center. Since 2023, he joined The Philadelphia Jazz Tap Ensemble and was the driving force behind The Brewerytown Tap Dance Festival, (soon to be Philly Tap Fest 2024) and has been teaching and performing at festivals, conventions and workshops around the United States. As a proud dad of a one-year-old, he is excited to continue growing in Tap Dance as a performer, choreographer and educator. “I live to Tap Dance and I Tap Dance for my life.”To Contact:https://profile.jamargig.com/connerkelly@itsconnerkellySee Coach Lori Anne on her TV show "TAKE ACTION WITH COACH LORI ANNE" - Roku, Amazon Fire, YouTube, Facebook, Linked In, X/Twitter.  Find us on BOLD BRAVE TV "TAKE ACTION WITH COACH LORI ANNE" every Thursday night at 7PM EST.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Todd Read, Senior Tourism Manager at SoIN Tourism, who shares more about the importance of building relationships for professional growth. Todd discusses the challenges SoIN has faced and how they have overcome them by creating strong partnerships. We also talk about hosting a travel conference in a small destination, what you should consider, and how to pull it off. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How Todd Read and his team managed to successfully host the Tap Dance event in a small destination and overcome logistical challenges Why local businesses and stakeholders became more invested in event hosting after the success of Tap Dance and the potential impact on tourism What the Indiana Foodways Alliance is and how it supports over 300 local non-corporate restaurants across 21 culinary trails How the rebranding from Sunny Side of Louisville to SoIN was strategically executed to establish a unique identity for Southern Indiana Why collaboration and building networks within the tourism industry are crucial for personal and professional growth The Potential of Small Destinations in Event Hosting Todd shares the transformative impact of hosting the Tap Dance event on the local community. The initial response to the Tap Dance event was overwhelmingly positive, and the community saw firsthand how well-executed events could boost tourism and economic activity. This realization translated into increased support and enthusiasm for hosting more events in the future. Hosting events in state parks or historic sites often comes with stringent restrictions, such as limitations on serving alcohol. Todd and his team successfully navigated and managed these logistics, demonstrating the feasibility and benefits of such events, thus paving the way for more flexible regulations in the future. The Importance of Collaboration and Community Support Todd talks more about the critical role of collaboration and support from all stakeholders and how his executive director and team were instrumental in the success of the Tap Dance event. SoIN's partnership with organizations like the Travel Alliance Partnership and the Indiana Foodways Alliance also shows how collaborative efforts can really boost a region's tourist appeal. Todd discusses the Indiana Foodways Alliance and its efforts to promote local, non-corporate restaurants through culinary trails. With over 300 participating establishments and 21 unique trails, such as “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” and the “Pork Tenderloin Trail,” the Alliance supports and showcases the state's amazing culinary offerings. Addressing Challenges and Embracing Resilience From the negative impact of COVID-19 to the controversies surrounding the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act (RFRA) in Indiana, SoIN's resilience and willingness to innovate have been key to successfully overcoming these challenges. Southern Indiana's rebranding from the Sunny Side of Louisville to SoIN in 2016 is a testament to creative problem-solving in response to being overshadowed by popular neighboring destinations. The new brand, SoIN, not only differentiated the region but also generated a strong sense of community identity and recognition. Despite funding cuts post-COVID, Todd and his colleagues managed to maintain momentum through collaborations with other tourism leaders. Initiatives like “Tour on 64,” aimed at highlighting attractions along Interstate 64, demonstrate the power of regional coopetition in sustaining tourism marketing efforts.

Hi listener, in this episode we discuss a topic of pregnancy in the WNBA, specifically the Las Vegas Aces under Coach Becky Hammon.

Hello! We're back from our summer recess which means we have more episodes to come for the rest of the 2024 year!For today's episode, Hannah sits down with Austin, Texas filmmaker Maggie Bailey, discussing her 2022 dance documentary, Moving Together. This particular doc is something I myself (Hannah), have not seen in the dance documentary mode. What made this movie really stand out from others is that the story blends a soothing balance of cinematic movement that we commonly see in screendance, but then pairing those vignettes with gentle interview voiceover. Overall, Maggie guides viewers on a weaving journey between the relationship of music and dance through the lens of 6 collaborators who approach the art form in their own way.In this interview, we learn about Maggie's technical process for making Moving Together and dive into some of the elements that make this movie extra special. –Moving Together loglineMoving Together explores the intimacy of collaboration between musicians and dancers in Flamenco, Modern, and New Orleans Second Line in both performance and class environments. As artists, we collaborate with other disciplines consistently, but what pulls us back to specific people for collaboration? 
This feature length, performative documentary investigates the relationships between Michael Wall, modern dance accompanist and composer, and Jesse Zaritt, dancer and choreographer; Olivia and Isai Chacon, a Flamenco dancer and Spanish guitarist; and New Orleans natives Michelle N. Gibson, cultural ambassador, choreographer, performer, and Thaddeus Ford, sixth generation Trumpet player. –Follow and get in touch with Maggie Baileywww.maggiembailey.com@maggiembailey @movingtogetherfilm– Got a question?

Frameform is thrilled to collaborate with Cinedans on several episodes to commemorate the 20th edition of the Amsterdam-based festival which took place in late March 2024. Through its adventurous film programming along with its substantial professional development program, Cinedans has established itself as a destination event for anyone interested in dance film and welcomes artists from around the world to its in-person event. Cinedans celebrated its bidecennial (yes, we looked that up) with a five day jam packed event filled with film screenings, meetings, and presentations . One of these presentations was a masterclass given by Iranian-Canadian musician and film director Kavah Nabatian, who also served on the jury of the event. The episode contains a short recording from this masterclass.http://kavehnabatian.com/films/Kite Zo A trailerhttps://vimeo.com/kavehnabatian/kitezoatrailerKaveh's film “Kite Zo A- Leave The Bones” -a docu screendance that takes a powerful and dynamic journey through Haitian history and culture-was presented in association with the three stated themes of Cinedans' 2024 event, “Resistance, Resilience & Freedom”. “Grief & Reconciling the Past”, and “Rituals & Healing”. These themes coalesced in a dedicated program called “Breaking the Chains” highlighting films with postcolonial themes from different countries and historical perspectives, portraying ancestral rituals, struggles for independence, spirituality and the persistent pervasive effects of slavery.The program opened with a ceremonial invocation and was followed by a Q&A with Christian Guerematchi (“CRNI TITO- Blaq Tito Addressing the Parliament of Ghosts”) along with Gabri Christa, Honore Van Ommoren and Steven Elbers from the film Kankantri-The Silk Cotton Tree, which premiere in the program. https://christianguerematchi.comCRNI TITO trailerhttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=b4Jsz5aOOs8Kankantri film pagehttps://www.gabrichrista.com/work/kankantriCheck out our Frameform Patreon page to access resources we have released and have coming up this summer.

Frameform is thrilled to collaborate with Cinedans on several episodes to commemorate the 20th edition of the Amsterdam-based festival which took place in late March 2024. Through its adventurous film programming along with its substantial professional development program, Cinedans has established itself as a destination event for anyone interested in dance film and welcomes artists from around the world to its in-person event. This year's edition of the festival featured a “Best of” segment where audience's could view the most popular films from the previous two decades, including three films from Iranian dance artist Tanin TorabiIf you've attended any dance film event in the last few years, you have likely seen the hypnotic film The Dérive which features Tanin moving through a Bazaar in Tehran, the capital city of Iran where dance has been banned since the country's revolution in the late 1970s. Tanin has since created two films set in Tehran, “In Plain Sight” and “Until”, the latter of which was created in the midst of the Woman Life Freedom protests in response to the murder of Mahsa Amini by Iran's morality police.Clare had the opportunity to speak with Tanin in person at Cinedans 2024, and only a few hours after this conversation took place, “Until” was awarded the Jury Award at Cinedans for Best Dance Short.Check out our Frameform Patreon page to access resources we have released and have coming up this summer.https://cinedans.nl/https://tanintorabi.art/
