Description: "Class Act tells of Cholly's boyhood and coming of age, his entry into the dance world of New York City, his performance triumphs and personal tragedies, and the career transformations that won him gold records and a Tony for choreographing Black and Blue on Broadway. Chronicling the rise, near demise, and rediscovery of tap dancing, the book is both an engaging biography and a rich cultural history."--BOOK JACKET.
