IN MEMORY OF ALFRED DESIO, THE ELECTRONIC TAP DANCER

dance image
Alfred Desio passed away February 14, 2007, of complications from cancer at 74. As recently as June 2006, Desio was performing with his students at Zipper Hall, Colburn School and at the 49th St. Elementary School.
Alfred Desio, Director of Zapped Taps/Alfred Desio, Choreographer, Composer, and Teacher, is the inventor of electronic tap, Tap-Tronics, a system that allows tap dancers to play electronic instruments using the sound of the taps as a source. A veteran of the original Broadway productions of West Side Story, Fiddler On the Roof, Man of La Mancha, Zorba, Kean, She Loves Me, and Donny Brook, his early dance training and performance was with Jerome Robbins, Jack Cole, Peter Gennaro, Donald McKayle, and Michael Bennett; and he also was assistant to Joseph Pilates, Pilates Technique. His innovative use of Tap and Electronics was featured in the Tri-Star film Tap starring Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis Jr.

After receiving a choreography fellowship from the NEA in 1986 Alfred had his east coast debut of Zapped Taps/Alfred Desio at Dance Theater Workshop (New York) to critical acclaim. Reviewed in Variety as "probably the most inventive taper in the business," Alfred Desio also used traditional jazz and acapello selections to create a program that had Lewis Segal at the Los Angeles Times writing "jazzy, complex unaccompanied routine that defined tap musicality...brilliant...absolutely dazzling." Dan Sullivan of the same paper described him as "The thinking man's tap dancer." The New York Times (Jennifer Dunning) said "The delighted fascination that seems to drive the Los Angeles-based Mr. Desio to explore these high-tech extensions of traditional tap also informs his...dancing. His intricate, deft footwork and his ease are compelling. But in the end it is the cagey exuberance of this leprechaun tapster that makes the work so enjoyable."

Associate Director of LOS ANGELES CHOREOGRAPHERS & DANCERS (LA C&D), the non-profit base of Zapped Taps/Alfred Desio, Alfred was also a 30-year faculty member of the Colburn School of Performing Arts. He has been on the faculty of many schools including USC. Desio was the recipient there of a Faculty Research and Innovation Fund (FRIF) grant for a collaborative project with his wife, Louise Reichlin, and the two collaborated on numerous projects.

Besides being an accomplished teacher, Alfred Desio created and directed a special performance project in the 80's called Kids Tap/L.A. Under his umbrella, LA C&D, he received a Brody Arts Award from the CA Community Foundation to have tap legend Fayard Nicholas, of the Nicholas Brothers, coach the young dancers. The group was renamed Colburn Kids Tap/L.A. through a joint project partnership with the Colburn School in 1994. Alfred and the Kids performances have included Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., Dance Kaleidoscope at the Ford, the LA Children?s Museum, Dance Roots at LA Theatre Center, the Greek Theatre and their home theatre Zipper Hall. Always concerned with his community, Alfred Desio was awarded a commendation from the Los Angeles City Council in January 1998. Alfred worked with jazz bands and symphony orchestras, often using his young students in performance. These included Morton Gould's Tap Dance Concerto with the San Diego Symphony and with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra at the Ford.?

Some years ago,Councilman Ridley-Thomas ( now a state senator) opened a ceremony at Los Angeles City Hall by this is a resolution adopted today to commend Alfred Desio on an outstanding career as a dancer, a director, a choreographer, and a composer. In May 2007, Alfred was awarded a Horton Award by Dance Resource Center for Excellence in Teaching.
