HISTORY OF IDO WORLD TAP DANCE

30 years of IDO World Tap dance Championships

Who’s Who Here are people who tremendously helped to develop the IDO World Tap dance Championships exceptionally and/or gained stunning results. And this is the story behind: The idea “Who’s Who” came from my friend and IDO Vice president, Dr. Klaus Höllbacher who suggested to add a “Who’s Who” to be included in the whole project. I was thrilled knowing so many people who must be in it. Who deserved it. But how to start? First I have nominated some people who were very special to me to send me their CVs / résumés or texts. Then I asked them to nominate others. And I also asked these “others” to also nominate additional experts. This brought the Kaleidoscope you can see below: so many wonderful total differently tap dance enthusiasts, professionals, dancers, teachers, judges etc. from all over our wonderful world of tap dance. Read it yourself. Everybody is special and a true Tap dance enthusiast and developer. Many people have been influenced by the IDO World Tap dance Championships to become famous tap dance professionals, renowned teachers and/or opened their own studios. All their texts are different in the way they are written. I did not predict a structure. For publishing I have followed the alphabetic order of last names. The photos have been sent by the people or I took them from photos of the several events.
