Donald McKayle's chance meeting with the legendary Bill Robinson, who obligingly responded to the entreaties of a nine-year-old and executed an impromptu version of his infectious stair tap-dance, and an electric encounter as a teenager sitting in a darkened theatre witnessing a performance by concert artist Pearl Primus, are key early experiences which bring about McKayle's life in dance, theatre, film, television, entertainment, and education. He learned at the feet of the masters, trained and developed some of the profession's top practitioners, and worked in theatres around the world, on Broadway, in Hollywood, creating a repertoire of acclaimed masterworks. He experienced failure, success, love, marriage and family. Readers should find his autobiography a revelation in an ongoing and still evolving story.
