Shirley Hall Bass Foundation presents A Night at Club DeLisa

Witness an imaginary evening curated by Sammy Dyer, an African American tap dancer who left his successful career on Broadway to establish himself as a choreographer in Chicago. He opened the Sammy Dyer School of Dancing in 1931, where he trained young Black children in theater arts, ballet, tap and jazz. His unique approach to an evening of entertainment was most uniquely expressed when he ultimately perfected his showmanship in his presentation of The Dyerettes; 5 young Black girls, who tapped, tumbled, sang and danced on point.
