A review by Margaret Morrison in the Los Angeles Review of Books of What the Eye Hears: A History of Tap Dancing, by Brian Seibert

September 18, 2016

Click here for the full book review in the Los Angeles Review of Books

​

"Tap has delighted fans for generations. Devotees troll the Internet for beloved old movie clips. Audiences fill seats of Broadway musicals and local concert halls. Kids and adults cram the floors of dancing schools. Professionals do this also, while recognizing that as soon those shoes are laced up, a tap dancer steps directly into the America’s racial history. Systems of oppression and restricted opportunity in the United States have influenced — even determined — every era of tap dance. Seibert instructs his reader to avoid essentialisms and consider the socially constructed idea of race, but he ignores endemic racism and uses his prodigious skills as a wordsmith to recreate supremacist structures. While Seibert does include many female tap dancers in his history, the book marginalizes women’s contributions, a standard tactic in jazz writing that traditionally has privileged male artistry. Ultimately, What the Eye Hears perpetuates the worn-out idea that tap dance is a dying form. Untrue, Mr. Seibert. As contemporary tap artists can tell you: reports of our death have been grossly exaggerated."
