description: "Charles \"Honi\" Coles was an American actor and tap dancer, who was inducted posthumously into the American Tap Dance Hall of Fame in 2003. He had a distinctive personal style that required technical precision, high-speed tapping, and a close-to-the-floor style where \"the legs and feet did the work\". Coles was also half of the professional tap dancing duo Coles and Atkins, whose specialty was performing with elegant style through various tap steps such as \"swing dance\", \"over the top\", \"bebop\", \"buck and wing\", and \"slow drag\"."
