User Reviews

Coming out on DVD?

Does anyone know of these episodes being released on DVD? I've always thought Gregory was extremely talented, but outside of the dance community, never received the recognition he should have. Anything I've ever heard or read, made me appreciate his humanity as well as his talent. I still miss him very much and try to obtain as many different CD's, DVD's and VHS tapes as I can. I am so grateful that I had the chance to see him in person in a small venue. Peg Leg Bates was in the audience, and Gregory had him stand up to be recognized! There were many young tappers there dancing with him on the stage. What an opportunity! One of the teachers here at the high school where I work, danced with Gregory. How I envy her!
