Tap World, also takes viewers around the world, and that, plus some flat out terrific performances, make this a surprisingly lovely little film.
It's rare to find a film that portrays dancers of all shapes, colors, ages, and sizes as beautiful, which they are.
The movie is at its best when Hargrove shows rather than tells. Anyone can appreciate these artists in motion, all of whom prove the infectious appeal of a dance that doesn’t just respond to rhythm but creates its own.
It would be better if it had a bit less proclaiming and a bit more nuts-and-bolts information, but still, it’s refreshing to see people bubbling over with enthusiasm for an art that is somewhat out of the mainstream.
The frequently dazzling performance footage is offset by long dull interviews with dancers who intone such platitudes as "the language of music is rhythm…rhythm is the language of life."
This crowded 72-minute doc “focuses” on at least 13 different dancers in a well-meaning but misguided and ultimately frustrating love letter to tap.
