Julie has had "Save the Last Dance" picked for a name for years. It had to be the right dog, the right time before she'd use. Let's hope Savion lives up to her expectations! His call name, Savion, comes from the young Tony award-winning choreographer and very talented dancer. Savion Glover.

Savion Glover (born November 19, 1973 in Newark, New Jersey) is an American actor, tap dancer and choreographer. Glover is a graduate of the Newark Arts High School.

While a student at Broadway Dance Center in Manhattan, his teacher arranged an audition for him with Broadway choreographer Henry LeTang. This led to his Broadway debut at age 10 in The Tap Dance Kid. He made his film debut in 1989's Tap co-starring with Gregory Hines and Sammy Davis, Jr. In 1990, he joined the cast of the children's television series, Sesame Street, and stayed on the show until 1995. He came to prominence in 1996, starring in the George C. Wolfe-produced musical Bring in 'da Noise/Bring in 'da Funk. He also starred in Spike Lee's 2000 film Bamboozled. He also appeared with Barbra Streisand in her "Timeless" tour, and appears on the New Years Eve 1999/2000 DVD of this show.

In 2003, Glover appeared on the DVD The One, a 40-minute retrospective look at the career of pop legend Michael Jackson, which was originally intended to air as a special called Number Ones in November 2003, to coincide with the release of Jackson's Greatest Hits package of the same name. The show was postponed after Jackson's arrest.

In 2004, Glover partnered with spoken word artist Reg E. Gaines and saxophonist Matana Roberts in a John Coltrane-inspired improvisation session, If Trane Wuz Here. In 2005, he further challenged the norm, collaborating with a string chamber orchestra and his band.

His most recent credit is as the motion-capture dancer for Mumble, the penguin in the animated release Happy Feet.

He is now in a production called "Classical Savion", where he taps to classical pieces played by a chamber string group. The show jazzes and blues it up a bit towards the end adding drums and a pianist.

Kathy sent the tap shoes, complete with pennies on each each and toe. Tap, tap, tap!  Customized for Savion's four canine feet, including his initial S on the toes, Julie thought perhaps we should make a slight change to reflect the expense of his arrival. Change S to $...
