Jack Wiggins
Jack Wiggins was an African-American entertainer of the early twentieth century, now remembered primarily for his elegant style in tap dancing. Wiggins worked as a performer at the Hoofers Club on "Swing Street" in Harlem, New York, where he inspired Laurence Donald "Baby Laurence" Jackson (later a member of the Tap Dance Hall of Fame).〔"'Baby Laurence' Jackson," American Tap Dance Foundation, Tap Dance Hall of Fame, ()〕 Wiggins also influenced Fayard and Harold Nicholas of the famous Nicholas Brothers tap duo.〔"Fayard Nicholas." by Terry Monaghan, ''The Guardian'', January 27, 2006, ()〕 Wiggins was recognized as a master soloist in the "Class Act" style of tap dancing.〔("Tap Dance in America: A Very Short History" by Constance Valis Hill )〕 A signature dance of Wiggins' was the "tango twist."〔("Pete Nugent," Street Swing Dance History Archives )〕
In a 1993 interview with ''The Los Angeles Times'', Nipsey Russell remarked that he had been inspired to become a performer around the age of 10 while watching Wiggins on stage. "He came out immaculately attired in a well-dressed street suit and he tap-danced," Russell said. "As he danced, he told little jokes in between. He was so clean in his language and was lacking in any drawl, he just inspired me. I wanted to do that."〔"Rhyming Funnyman Nipsey Russell Dies," by Joe Holley, October 4, 2005, ''The Washington Post'', ()〕
