For 23 years he shared his tap artistry with thou- sands of dance and theater majors at The University of the Arts, where he was awarded the title "Distinguished Professor" in 2005. This piece, created especially for this tribute, honors LaVaughn's distinctive style of tap dance, inviting listeners to experience some of his riffs and phras- es with a fresh ear by layering them in polyrhythms and transposing them to new meters. It emulates his generosity and inclusiveness toward anyone who aspires to be a tap dancer: any UArts tap student, regardless of experi- ence, was welcomed to learn the dance and join in the performance.
