Savion Glover��is an 
American��tap dancer,��actor, and��choreographer from��Newark, New Jersey. Teaching tap since he was 14, Glover��is on a mission to reclaim the rhythm that was lost when tap dancing was recycled after many generations.
At the age of seven, Glover drummed in a group called “Three Plus One.” In the group, he demanded that he dance while he played the drum.��Glover has a heavy foot while tap dancing and taps with hard and loud steps.��He teaches his mentees that one must learn how to “hit,” a term related to one’s ability to express oneself, to complete a tap sequence, or to say something.
Glover states his style is “young and funk.” When asked to describe what funk is, he says it is the bass line. Gregory Hines, a tap legend said,��“Funk is anything that gets one’s head on beat. It is riding with the rhythm. It is a pulse that keeps one rolling with the beat.” Hines, one of Glover’s tap teachers, stated,��“Savion is possibly the best tap dancer that ever lived.” Glover likes to start his pieces with some old school moves from famous tappers and then work his way into his own style.
When Glover choreographs a piece, he improvises as he generates a dance sequence. As he finds rhythms, he listens for new sounds at many points on the stage. Using the entire stage as an instrument, he finds spots that make different sounds. Savion Glover has made many appearances on TV, including several appearances on “Sesame Street” from 1990-1995. As well as his Choreography on “So You Think You Can Dance” and the Block Buster Movie “Happy Feet”.
Winning many awards over the years,��Glover is no stranger to the stage. And he will be on stage, Nov. 14����at��Knight Theater at Levine Center For The Arts, performing his amazing choreography! Tickets are on sale now.
Watch him perform on Barbra Streisand’s “Timeless.”
