My goodness did I love to watch Gregory dance. Gregory, Sammy, The Nicholas brothers , Sandman Sims, Bill Tobinson, Bunny Briggs, Jimmy Slyde, Fred and Gene, and all of the other tap legends that have left us are having one heck of a party in the upper room I’m sure! God bless them all! As for this routine, the only thing I would change is the music he is dancing to. That cheesy 80’s synth-pop…😬. Would have loved if the scene would have had him tapping to some piano only jazz that broke down into cut time. I love when the music is simple and the tapping is front and center. Anyway, he is dearly missed!
One thing that Michael Jackson and othets were insistent on was that as many shots of his full body were captured while filming. That was because the artists knew that the real entertainment was the dancing and not the constant barrage of edits. Not only did this director and cinematographer abide by that rule, they were so creative in switching angles during the shots while not interrupting the full dance scene. This was great.
I'm so overjoyed to watch White Nights again after purchasing a copy for my dvd collection and it's so nice to have this favorite part of the movie uploaded on YT. You'll never be forgotten Gregory Hines. ♥
Everybody thinks this is a Baryshnikov movie. And while his own insane talent is indisputable, Hines was crushing it on stage since he was practically a toddler, well before Mikhail was even born. The man has serious skills and was taken from us far too soon. 😔
Tap dancers are truly athletes and this man is one of the best, died way too young won't be another Gregory for a long time. Was lucky enough to see him live, what a show. SJ Sending my love and prayers always for family and friends and all.
He was a singularity. Imitated but never duplicated. His tap dancing brought you in to him. The beat the moment the movement. Gregory Hines was very extraordinary. RIP🕊️
An exquisite dancer, and SO under appreciated for his time. I love White Nights, but only because of Gregory Hines. Died way too soon. Love and miss him still. s
When I was a kid ( Turned 70 today ) I loved to watch Hines, Hines and Dad tap on TV. Took tap as a kid but never got good. I loved to watch Gregory dance. I was shocked when he passed. 💔 He was so great !!! ❤

A legend of my childhood. He made Tap cool. Died at only 57. RIP #Legend.
Is the man 😎
I am 69 years old and familiar with all the greatest tap dancers in the world. Gregory Hines is still my favorite to watch. So sorely missed.❤😢.
He was one of the best tappers!!!! ❤️
LEGEND
I loved him and miss him so much!

If you can elevate an art form beyond art, that is Hines with tap dancing. It transcends the perception of tap.
i never realized how dominated by his right foot Hines is... really if you watch his left foot is an afterthought.
Mr Gregory Hines, the GOAT of all time.❤
Lose your blues... Everybody cut footloose!
❤I hoped she danced
