First Day City: The First Day of Issue Ceremony took place during the New York City Tap Festival in New York, New York.
About the Tap Dance set: Five stamps issued to celebrate the American origins of tap dance and its rise in popularity and influence over time. Each stamp pictures a photograph (by Matthew Murphy) of a modern tap dancer in front of a brightly colored background.
History the stamp represents: When most people think of dancers from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Fred Astaire is one of the first to come to mind. Astaire’s career lasted over 75 years and included the stage, television, and the big screen. He was an accomplished actor, but was, first and foremost, a dancer.
Astaire and his older sister, Adele, were taught dancing and singing at an early age. They went on to become a successful brother-and-sister act. They performed on Broadway, for US and Allied troops during World War I, and more. However, eventually Adele got married and decided to retire from show business. This left Astaire to make his own way.
Astaire worked with several partners over the years, expanding his dance knowledge and becoming more well-known throughout the industry. Eventually, he made his way to Hollywood. His first film was the musical Dancing Lady in which he partnered with Joan Crawford. Not long after, he filmed nine movies with his most famous partner, Ginger Rogers. The partnership made Rogers and Astaire household names.
Astaire choreographed nearly all his dance routines himself. He was also responsible for several innovations that made filming dance more effective. Who knows what tap dancing would look like today without the influence of Fred Astaire?
