Rare Footage Of Legendary ‘Mr. Bojangles’ Teaches Shirley Temple The Stair Dance – Who Remembers This?

Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, an African American tap dancer, born in Richmond, Virginia, began dancing professionally at five. His tap style was celebrated for its elegance, precision, and speed. He introduced intricate footwork to his performances and often danced with his hands in his pockets to emphasize his footwork.

In the early 20th century, Robinson became a renowned tap dancer, gaining fame for his roles in films like 1935’s “The Little Colonel,” where he danced with the beloved Shirley Temple. Shirley Temple, known for her iconic curly hair and cheerful demeanor, often sang and danced in her roles.

Regrettably, Robinson passed away in 1949, and Shirley Temple in 2014. However, their exceptional dancing is forever preserved in this unique film, the only one featuring “The King of Tap” and the “Little Princess of Hollywood” dancing together.
