Savion Glover at the White House

[@russellchard]

Years ago, some friends were vacationing with my wife and I and totally unplanned or expected, had the chance to see Mr. Glover perform in a little underground club in Greenwich Village. The place was so small, we had average seats and were still only about 12 feet from the stage. I wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out to be one of the most riveting and thrilling live performances we've ever seen. There was a small trio that would accompany him at times, but for the most part, his tapping was the only audible music in the room. Discovering this video brought back some wonderful memories. Thanks to the O.P.

Saw him at the Blue Note. Amazing.

[@donnasloane9031]

I saw him off Broadway when he was very young.....I was blown away by his talent.

[@2Cannon1]

The first day I ever saw him dance I was blown away. MESMERIZING and I got the blessing to dance with him something I'll never forget! Super cool as well as super talented!

[@orieshaiamellohime7276]

It sounds like the drums of Africa....SO BEAUTIFUL ☺️❤️

[@swacfan100]

As a kid you just knew Savion had something special, he did & still does. I know he aint loookin for it but he doesn't get the credit he deserves for keeping this art form alive.

[@lesawewin]

you're right!

[@eileencastillo6323]

Savion Glover is the coolest guy on this planet. He's a gift to us for sure.

[@MrDollerbillz]

How do you dislike this he got to learn from the greats and he made it his own style love to see this

[@BayareaGuy06]

I remember this guy from Sesame Street when I was a kid back in the early and mid 1990's. His mentor Gregory Hines made an appearance on the show back in the 1970's.

[@TXejas19]

BayareaGuy06 i remember him from sesame street too

[@mjjm5511]

check out Sammy Davis Jr and Gregory Hines!!! a rare treat and while Davis was in the middle of chemo treatments.

[@prairiechickendancer]

he was in the Gregory Hines movie Tap. The movie has some of the great tap dancers and he was a young man in that movie

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Sometimes I like to imagine how ridiculously AMAZING Glover would be if Gregory Hines had lived longer. Hines was such a mentor and almost father figure, and he think he misses him in a painful way. Imagine Glover and Hines tapping side by side, then breaking off into individual solos as Glover demonstrates his own unique style.

[@amethystanne4586]

@@mjjm5511I watched that video a couple days ago for the 3rd or 4th time. Towards the end of the video, Sammy does a very well-known bit**, which surprises Gregory so much he kisses both of Sammy’s feet. **the well-known bit I will not say. I don’t want to spoil the surprise. It’s just a delight!

[@janicesanders9981]

Beautiful music!. I remember Savion as a young kid on TV... This was great...

[@jonathancineus6424]

So effortless. Smiling and all. 👏

[@cruzmakaveli9891]

Remembered watching the movie "Tap" back in the late 80's and Savion stuck to my mind as a kid with skills back then who was jus a kid amongst these Great Tappers cast including Gregory Hines. Amazing pool of talent in that movie including Sammy Davis Junior. RIP to the GM's in Tap who have passed on.

[@christopherwhitfield92]

His solo act alone he's killed it the team was something else fire performance FACTS

[@kekep786pope6]

Ion know if Gregory hines really said that because I think that Gregory always Said it was Sammy for him

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Gregory Hines definitely had a very close relationship with Glover . They appeared together on Broadway, etc

[@CandaceSHurst]

Where is he now???

[@VercettiDidThis]

He’s making a tap dance kid remake I’m an actor

[@savionwashington7635]

my hole class is learning about you

[@vasiliyk.4593]

Грегори Хайнс с ними жив и присутствует!

[@russianfunnycat5750]

Кто после Havana

[@noelleparris9451]

Maybe the greatest of his generation. But I'd like to see him do what the Nicholas Brothers did.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

I can't imagine the Nicholas Brothers trying to compete with Glover. One of the Nicholas brothers did appear with Savion Glover as a young man in "Tap". Like all tappers, if they could have met as contemporaries, they would have swapped steps, and trash talked a bit, and stole a step or two, and "Hey, show me that one again", and "How'd you do that", and "Never mind, I don't have to tell you everything!!" 🎵🎭🎶. And they would have been so pleased that dancers today are keeping Tap alive in any and all forms. Can't you feel the Brothers smile?

[@NasiraDudley]

Foot broke now Lil niecey might can't pull every step off

Go head Gregory hines son

[@mher0349]

Happy Feet

[@eileencastillo6323]

I didn't know it was Savion Glover at the time, but when I saw that movie, I said, "Whoa, that's some kind of tapping that little penguin is doing!" Lol

[@skiburnski7543]

What he's doing with his feet is beautiful and very amazing. But I have to say that he looks like a monster. His hair is wild and unkempt and his clothes are sloppy. It takes away from the performance for me. When you look at the Nicholas brothers and other tap dancers, the way they present themselves with the tuxedos and nice grooming made it so much more appealing. He doesn't have to wear a tuxedo, but if he wore clothes that fit him and got a haircut, it would look a lot better. he looks homeless.

[@OGYouTuber05]

Do not judge a man by his outward appearance, but instead by his good deeds.

[@TXejas19]

ill santos im sincerely glad his look ruffles feathers

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

People have been fussing about hair for a long time. Dreads are not so unusual anymore. Hair can speak volumes, so it's probably always inappropriate to decide what someone else's hair should look like. Personally, I am so busy looking at his feet and his lanky body accentuating every move. Enjoying the TAP!!

You sound like a douche a judgmental douche bag
