Swing In Seconds Ep. 3 | Master Juba | Tap Dance History

This episode's spotlight: William Henry Lane a.k.a Master Juba

Said to be the "danciest fellow that was", Lane was a pioneer in the world of dance in the mid 1800's. It's been said he even performed before Queen Victoria at Buckingham Palace!

We first knew about Lane a few years back when reseraching tap dance moves. But it was great getting to dive deeper into his life and learn more.
