content: Program explodes the parallel histories of jazz music and dance and how they influenced and shaped each other.  During the 1930s creative tapping routines became a standard attraction to Ellington's floor shows and he in turn created musical compositions to support such creative movements. Program held at the National Museum of American History's Palm Court and featured the talents of Calvin Jones, James King, and Nasar Abadey.
