Leon Collins (1922-1985) was an influential American tap dancer, originally from Chicago. He performed with renowned orchestras and transitioned to teaching after a decline in big band popularity. Collins opened dance studios, conducted performances, and contributed to the tap revival in the 1970s and 1980s. His performances notably incorporated jazz, bebop, and classical music, with 'Flight of the Bumblebee' being a highlight. He faced lung cancer and passed away in Boston, leaving a legacy documented in the film 'Songs Unwritten.'
