“ln 1930, that’s when my brother and I really started and the place we started in vaudeville in Philadelphia and played all the theatres. And then we opened that the Lafayette Theatre in Manhattan. And we we did a motion picture called Pappi Blackbird. And right after that, we went into the Cotton Club. We went to a show called Babes in Arms. Now, there was this wonderful choreographer, George Balanchine. Now we were at the Cotton Club. This was in 1937 at the Cotton. George Balanchine wanted us to be in the show because we worked with him in the Ziegfeld Follies. And so he wanted us in the show called Babes in Arms. And we went to the theatre that he was sitting in the audience. And at that time I met him and I met Richard Rodgers.” Balanchine considered one of the most significant of all choreographers ― in innovations of modern ballet. Quite fascinating that Balanchine saw the impressive virtuosity of the Nicholas Brothers and wanted them in the show. Richard Rogers, equally one of the more important figures of America’s musical identity and instrumental to the very fabric of Broadway. To think the Nicholas Brothers were personally working with him is historic. Balanchine and Rogers ― were major figures. “I became a great friend with Fred Astaire. He respected us. We respected him. There was no jealousy. And we’d always praise each other every time we saw each other.” – 𝙁𝙖𝙮𝙖𝙧𝙙 𝙉𝙞𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙨 At a time when mostly white dancers were promoted the Nicholas Brothers represented the finest offering of Black entertainers. Real dancers knew not to play with the Nicholas Brothers who were known to wipe dancers off the floor. They could easily match any of the most revered male dancers in Hollywood. Astaire was very complimentary of them ― calling this dance the best he’d seen. This dance was unrehearsed and achieved in one take with a multi camera setup. The New York Times affirming: “Astaire pronounced their “Jumpin' Jive” number in the movie Stormy Weather (1943) ― unrehearsed and achieved on the first take ― to be the greatest dancing he had ever seen on film.” The Nicholas Brothers were untouchable.
