We are speechless. My daughter was so inspired by Gregg Russell Tap.
He always seemed to find her and remind her that she was much better than she believed. He always had a smile and happiness that was infectious. I am guilty of watching the class to hear the silly jokes, and to watch his amazing connection to the kids as humans first and dancers second. Even through Zoom i could hear “Alright, time for a dad joke.” Gregg will be missed in so many ways.

Such sad news: just heard that Gregg Russell passed! The tap world lost a fabulous tapper/teacher! I have taken many of his classes and so have my former students! (Remember the Russell turn—5 revolutions ending with toe-tip tap)

This is sad news. Gregg has been a catalyst for tap and dance education for thousands of people over decades. Many great dancers quote him as an inspiration. Genuinely a decent guy and world-class dancer.

I met him a few years ago at Motor City Tap Fest… I only had a few classes with him however in that short amount of time I got to learn from him, he really inspired me. You could tell he was such a kind soul. He had amazing energy. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family.
