Filmed at the London Palladium, this documentary introduces viewers to the lively world of tap dance as interpreted by three acknowledged masters: Chuck Green, Will Gaines, and Charles Honi Coles. While Coles and Green evolved from the heyday of tap in the 1930s, Gaines, the youngest of the three, exemplifies a bebop style of rhythm dancing.
