Andrew Nemr
Mentored by Gregory Hines, Andrew is considered one of the most hardworking and diverse tap dance artists today. Collectively, Andrew’s choreography and solo work has been described as “a welcome return to the elegance of simplicity and the tap dancer as maker of aural magic” (exploredance.com) and “deeply touching” (Daily Gazette).
In his efforts to continue to champion the art form of tap dance, Andrew co-founded the Tap Legacy Foundation, Inc., along with Gregory Hines, chartered to build a cultural center in New York City dedicated to tap dance. Tap Legacy produces programming aimed at re-igniting the oral history through which tap dance has been passed down over the years, while championing and promoting the craft’s history.
Andrew J. Nemr was recently announced as a member of the 2012 class of TEDGlobal Fellows. The TED Fellows program is designed to bring together young world-changers and trailblazers who have shown unusual accomplishment and exceptional courage. The fellowship continues throughout the year with ongoing coaching, mentoring and collaboration within the TED community.
