Fayard (1914-2006) and Harold (1921-2000) Nicholas were the greatest tap dancers, not only of their time but of everyone since, including dancers today. The above video is a clip from the film Stormy Weather (1943) with Cab Calloway, in which their dance routine has to be seen to be believed. If you created such a routine in CGI these days, you wouldn’t think it possible for actual humans to reach such athletic heights as they were capable of achieving. Their dance spots in any film made for an outstanding contribution to the popularity of the film itself—however dull the overall film was. No superlative is too much for the precision and energy of their dance routines. More can be found at their website here
