Savion Glover calls himself a hoofer. Others call him the greatest tap dancer there is. From the shuffle to the "shim sham shimmy" - name a step and Glover can dance them all.

Shortly before he opened his first UK show at Sadlers Wells last night, our arts team caught up with him. Watch the full length version of Nick Glass's interview with the dancing star here.
