    Thank you Stephen for focusing the spotlight on other forms of art and entertainment instead of the usual Hollywood drab that your competitors are so obsessed with. Keep on showing us more stuff like this!!!

    Classically trained ballerina here, and though I recognized the craft behind tap, I never thought it could hold this much soul. Inspiring performance by Ms. Dorrance and the band, and stunning decision by Colbert & co!

    As someone who personally knows Michelle and considers her a friend, I can honestly tell the youtube community this, that as great of a performer she is, she's an even better person. She is the definition of hard work and staying humble. Go "Florence" Dorrance. You killed it!!!

    Michelle, can i say that i have always found tap interesting, but when watching this, i genuinely was moved to tears. The dedication, mastery and stagecraft was so amazing that i legitimately could not help but shed some tears. I hope one day to see you live.

    Transitioning from performing with Yo Yo Ma, to accompanying this tap dancer, Jon Batiste is showing an amazing level of musicianship to an unprecedentedly vast audience. I hope that the show at some point features some music educators, or promotes music education and funding for the arts - because now more than ever it is hard for artists to make a living.

      +Snapdeus Yes. .. On the Late Show Stephen Colbert UA-cam Channel, this is featured as a "Studio Bit" rather than as a "Musical Performance." What kind of weird snub is that?

      @ellasteele4002 8 років тому +2

      She is amazing. I think she's very unique though, unlike Eleanor Powell, who didn't improvise, Michelle is a wonderful improvisational dancer as well as choreographer. But of course, Eleanor Powell was also a very strong female tap dancer and had a huge presence!

    • @profsdottir
      @profsdottir 8 років тому +1

    What 6 cretins clicked the "thumbs down" button? Kids who probably don't understand the amazing history & culture tap draws from. This girl is beyond incredible! Guess I answered my own question. Gotta say, I was scared when Colbert left his persona & Comedy Central behind for the "bigs". But it's essentially the same show & I'm so happy! The mix of guests & the politics/worldview, instead of just constant "sell my movie/book/cd" celebrity pap is refreshing ... and it's really making him stand out amongst the rest. (Except the cable boys also from Stewart's pen - Oliver, Wilmore & even Noah is surprising me...) I'm with Martinaee, who wishes CraigyFerg were still around to follow this show.

    Wow. This is the first time in a long time that I've seen something truly innovative and new from tap. Most tap performances I've seen recently focus too much on speed (taps per minute dick-waving) or being tied slavishly to the music. Ms. Dorrance's performance here seems to incorporate a variety of different modern dance styles as well as the courage to not be fortissimo all the time. It feels like something Fred Astaire would have done if he were alive today.
