 Joan
Hill is a classically trained pianist who moved from California to
Boston to study Jazz with Charlie Banacos. She became the accompanist of
and partner with the legendary Leon Collins. He taught her to dance, and
she invented a system of tap notation (The Joan Hill Tap-a-scat-a-matic
Bebop System of Tap Notation -- All rights reserved -- all lefts
preserved), by which she documented nine of his routines. Joan will
provide accompaniment and pointers for the authentic reproduction of
these truly unique creations during both Leon Collins Routine #2
classes. |
