It wouldn’t have happened without Zdenek.
If he hadn’t followed his dream of learning to tap….
If he hadn’t starred in the cult film Swing Kids…
If he hadn’t decided to learn to swing not just as a performance piece for the film, but so he could dance with other swingers from abroad….
If he hadn’t started Zig-Zag….
…. Then the world (at least our Prague tap-dancing and swinging world) would probably look completely different than the one we know. Thank you!
