The history of tap is an ever-evolving panorama of inclusion, adversity, and reinvention. This in-depth documentary is an absorbing narrative about a quintessentially American dance form—from its origins, to the historic and cultural events that shaped it, to its present day rebirth as a vibrant art form.

The story of legendary jazz bassist Milt Hinton and tap dancer Charles "Honi" Coles offers a front row seat to the creation of Jazz History. The film includes rehearsals, practice sessions, photographs, historical film footage, as well as a lunch break interview at New York's China Song restaurant in which the artists discuss everything from the mathematical principles of music to the dance acts who played the Apollo. The film also features a special appearance by choreographer/tap dancer Brenda Bufalino.
