Module One Post Nine (History/origin of How Tap was Popularized)

My ninth post is a little bit more about the origin of tap for those who just want to know how tap dance started in someone else’s words. This website talks about the how before, one specific man named William Henry Lane aka Master Juba, the first “black” man to ever be allowed to perform in front of “white” people before the “black” people were even allowed to perform. it also talks about other people who were famous for tap dancing, for example William Henry Lane (Master Juba), Bill Robinson (Bojangles), Fayard and Harold (the Nicholas Brother’s). All of these people were the people who made popularized tap in America. This website is a very good website for someone who just wants to know a little bit of the history of tap in a paragraph. I think this website is helpful for people because then they can find another activity that were started not only by Caucasian people and could be from “black” people.
