Gregory Oliver Hines (1946 – August 9, 2003), regarded by many as the greatest tap dancer of his generation.Born in New York City, Hines parents started him and his brother Maurice dancing at an early age and in no time they were studying with choreographer Henry Le Tang. Together with their father the three were known as "The Hines Kids" and later as "The Hines Brothers" only to have the name change again in 1963 to "Hines, Hines and Dad". (Lynch, Richard C. "For The Record-Gregory Hines." ShowMusic The Musical Theatre Magazine 1994: 40-42.) Hines appeared in such movies as The Cotton Club, White Nights, Running Scared, and Tap. On television, he starred in his own series in 1997 called The Gregory Hines Show, as well as in a recurring role as Ben Doucette on Will & Grace. Tony Award nominations for Eubie!, Comin' Uptown and Sophisticated Ladies. Tony for the musical Jelly's Last Jam and a Tony in 1977 for Eubie!. Hines died of liver cancer at the age of 57 in Los Angeles, California. |

"Fabien
Ruiz a la musique au bout des pieds... ce fan de Fred Astaire
donne en un peu plus d'une heure une magistrale leçon de
claquettes. Un vrai spectacle, entrecoupé d'explications
brèves et claires sur son art." (Le Parisien) |
