[edit] Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a tap dancer too,I would like to meet you.I go to Universal Dance Design with Ms.Arlene Kennedy.I wonder if you know her because she has pictures of you.I am doing a report on you, if I can meet you I would be so thankful.
- The Nicholas Brothers have both passed away before 2001. However I'm sure you have great examples for your dance and subject matter for your report.--Smkolins (talk) 12:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] too little reference to documentary
I'm looking to include material from We Sing, We Dance: The Nicholas Brothers (documentary ([1]) if I can find good info on it somewhere.... as much a note not to loose track of as anything.--Smkolins 01:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] awards
still trying to find details because I know sometimes one or another brother won an award and sometimes they won it together and sometimes they both won a nearly identical award but for specific individual contributions. But details seems sparse.....--Smkolins 11:33, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Style
The page has a reference to Gregory Hines saying:
...if ever a movie was made of The Nicholas' Brothers life that their dance numbers would have to be computer generated because no one could duplicate them.
But it might be mentioned that Gregory Hines and his brother Maurice played a fictionalized version of the Nicholas Brothers in Francis Coppola's movie "The Cotton Club".K8 fan 20:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] more refs to try to incorporate
- Los Angeles Choreographers & Dancers
- History Maker's "EntertainmentMakers" (served in the army)
- DIANNE WALKER and SAM WEBER, and LANE ALEXANDER, and MARK MENDONCA, TERRY BROCK, mentions as working with the brothers.
- Goodbye Fayard seems to be a blog but mentions specific quotes that might be findable.--Smkolins 20:32, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] lead sentence
The lead states that the Nicholas Brothers were "a famous African-American tap dance pair of brothers during the Harlem Renaissance." But it seems like (a) they were much more than tap dancers and (b) whatever they did, it went far beyond the scope of the Harlem Renaissance - at least chronologically. No? - Eliezg (talk) 07:12, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
