Tap Master Dr. Jimmy Slyde
October 2,1927 - May 16, 2008
It is with great regret that we must announce the passing of Dr. Jimmy Slyde.
Dr. Slyde was, and will forever be, a source of wisdom in the artistry of tap dance. As he would say, "He hasn't left us, he's left something for us."
Details for a planned memorial service will be announced as more information becomes available.
