Featuring performances by tap legends Bunny Briggs, Chuck Green, Howard “Sandman” Sims, along with music by the inimitable Lionel Hampton, George T. Nierenberg’s film vibrates with the love of dance. By the 1950s, the golden age of tap dancing fell to the likes of rock 'n' roll and modern dance. In 1979, “No Maps on My Taps” inspired a new generation of dancers to slip on their shoes and tap away.
