	Savion Glover, Hoofing It
		In fact, Glover doesn't go anywhere without a screwdriver to tighten his Teletones, the aluminum metal plates attached to the heels and toes of his Capezio K260s, the tap phenom's shoe of choice.
		In that vein, Glover, who made his Broadway debut as the star of "The Tap Dance Kid" at 10 and earned a Tony Award for his choreography in the trenchant panorama of African American history told through dance, "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk," is returning to his Broadway roots: song and dance.
		Glover calls them Chapter IV: "That's about the four of us, and we're all at different chapters in the dance." He sees himself as a link to the past, to a generation of dancers who hoofed and hit and made it the hard way.
