In the 1940s, virtuoso tap dancing duo the Nicholas Brothers performed a dance routine so beautiful, so seminal, it prefigured hip hop dance by 3 decades. Tap icon Savion Glover breaks down the routine against the social context of the time, while contemporary dancers Les Twins create an inspired incarnation of the groundbreaking original.
