Article Excerpt
As a child, Sam Weber first delved into tap dancing as a means of escaping reality. Now in his 50s, this protege of Stanley Kahn has tapped his way to international acclaim. Weber's dancing exudes an effortless grace that comes from his years as a dancer with the Joffrey Ballet. He's danced alongside Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, and the Nicholas Brothers, just to name a few. The first tap dancer ever to receive a Bessie Award, Weber currently juggles his time between touring the world as a principal dancer and choreographer with the Jazz Tap Ensemble, and teaching master classes and workshops. His first annual Weber Institute will take place in Chicago July 24-28 (www.samweber.org). Lane Alexander of Chicago Human Rhythm Project interviewed Weber about his simple, yet demanding, approach to training tappers.
