Kids tap dancing in the French Quarter in 1976
ByAnother eBay slide, which I love. Taken in 1976, it’s something that still happens today; kids (particularly poor black kids) attach metallic caps to the bottoms of their shoes and tap dance on the cobblestones.
Here the local kids seem to be teaching the tourists to dance along with them in front of St. Louis Cathedral.

I was in N.O. just last year and kids were putting scrunched soda cans on their sneakers and tapped danced for hand outs – got plenty they were good.
