Fayard Nicholas (born 1914), of the legendary Nicholas Brothers has reached final peace and joined his brother Harold Nicholas and other tap legends in heaven.
We thank him for everything he did for the history of tap dancing! His exceptionally warm smile and positive attitude towards life and people will be missed by many. Our deepest condolences to his wife, actress Kathrine Hopkins-Nicholas and the Nicholas family.
Although, Fayard Nicholas and his wife couldn't make it to our festival in 2004, because of his unforeseen illness, Fayard Nicholas and his brother Harold Nicholas will be with us in spirit forever.
