TAP DANCING NEW YORK STREET PERFORMER: Jabowen talks about his passion for tap in New York's subway

I filmed Jabowen Dixon on my recent trip to New York City. I was just travelling on the subway and saw him perform so I filmed about 5 minutes worth before I took my train. I've had a bit of interest in tap, having done a bit when I was a boy.
Jabowen is a tap performer who has travelled the world with dance. He recently moved to NYC to be with his girlfriend who is in a Broadway musical. He feels at home in the city and sees performing in the subway as good practice that makes him money on the way in between gigs.
He started tap at around 6 years old, learning at his brother's dance class but only really got serious with it around 18, when his brother started a tap group so he could spend more time with Jabowen and his sister.
Jabowen was kind enough to let me interview him too.
