Van “The Man” Porter

Van “The Man” Porter is selling an instructional video of the Orange-Coloured Sky routine. I have a copy in my possession and love it. It’s only $40 CDN for you dance fans out there, and you can buy it from www.vantheman.ca.

For non-tap dancers, there is also a cool clip of Van dancing with a jazz band at the Vancouver Tap Dance Festival.

Here’s the link:

Working together with Van to create this instructional dvd was one of the most incredible tap experiences I’ve ever had.  We worked continuously for 12 hours to do the taping of the dvd.  Then spent countless hours on the post production.  Some of the dancers in the class had only learned the dance the night before!  Van put all his love and passion for the dance in this creation of Orange Colored Sky all in the name of “Sharing the Joy”
It was a priviledge and an honour to work with such a talented teacher and choreographer.
