I am 69 years old and familiar with all the greatest tap dancers in the world. Gregory Hines is still my favorite to watch. So sorely missed.❤😢.

Just before he died, he was guesting on "Will & Grace." My wife & I were in the audience and after one of the takes, he began a routine of tap for about 4 minutes. I saw him tapping live. One of the highlights of my life was watching him dance. When he was done, more than a couple of people in the audience were crying at this show, myself included. He died not long after.

Warren Boule: From fall of 1999 to 2005, I lived about 2 blocks away from a tap dance studio. Most of those summers, until he passed away, the studio had a workshop (or something) for its students (and anyone else who could cough up the fees) where Gregory Hines was the featured guest dancer/teacher. I rode the bus, so every afternoon I had hopes that, as I walked by that studio, I might catch a glimpse of him. (Never did, but oh well..)

Everybody thinks this is a Baryshnikov movie. And while his own insane talent is indisputable, Hines was crushing it on stage since he was practically a toddler, well before Mikhail was even born. The man has serious skills and was taken from us far too soon. 😔

There’s another great scene in this movie where he’s just monologuing with no score underneath accompanied by tap. He’s just talking and he lets his body tell the story just as much if not more so than the dialogue. I couldn’t find the clip on KZitem, but out of all the great dance scenes in this movie, that was the one that got me hooked on Gregory Hines.

One thing that Michael Jackson and othets were insistent on was that as many shots of his full body were captured while filming. That was because the artists knew that the real entertainment was the dancing and not the constant barrage of edits. Not only did this director and cinematographer abide by that rule, they were so creative in switching angles during the shots while not interrupting the full dance scene. This was great.
