NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, May 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Mentored by Gregory Hines, Andrew Nemr has had a unique journey in what he likes to call Tap Dance Land. The son of Lebanese immigrants, a 10 year old Nemr met is his tap dance hero, Gregory Hines, and was thrust into the world of tap dancing.— Andrew Nemr
Hines, and later Savion Glover, would graft Nemr into a world of tap dance far from what he had experienced in lessons at a local dance school. Nemr would find himself as the youngest in a generation that could still sit at the feet of masters like Jimmy Slyde, Henry LeTang, Mable Lee, and Tina Pratt. Nemr would be mentored by many of them.
He would go on to tour with Savion Glover’s TiDii, start and direct his own tap dance company, Cats Paying Dues, establish the Tap Legacy™ Foundation (along with Hines), and tour internationally as a soloist and educator. But something was missing.
That thing was a way of sharing the journey and learning Nemr experienced so intimately with his mentors and teachers with others who would never have the same opportunity. That is exactly what the Tap Dance Method is about.
Nemr’s first book compiles personal anecdotes, artistic approaches, and technique and teachings alongside ideas of individual and communal formation. Pulled together from over 40 years of dancing, The Tap Dance Method unearths what a journey through Tap Dance Land is like. Those who purchase the book can access additional free online resources, and a portion of the proceeds goes to support the work of the Tap Legacy™ Foundation.
Andrew shares, “My hope is that dancers, dance educators, and anyone curious about what Tap Dance Land is like will find this book both beneficial and entertaining.”
Join the celebration by attending the online release party for the book, June 1, 2025, 7:30pm via Zoom. RSVP required for zoom link.
