Thinking On Their Feet documents the women who revolutionized the art of American percussive dance. Determined to keep tap dance alive, they sought out former vaudeville and MGM hoofers and convinced them to return to the stage, forging a place for tap in venues better known for producing ballet and modern dance.
The film shows intimate portraits of the most influential living women tap dancers emerging from scenes in the studio, personal interviews and conversations, as well as footage of performances and choreography. This film features Brenda Bufalino, Heather Cornell, Lynn Dally, Anita Feldman, Jane Goldberg, Sarah Petronio, Linda Sohl-Ellison, and more. Additional tap artists and historians share their perspectives on the causes and effects of the "Tap Renaissance."
