Whos the better tap dancer?

Question

I've heard that ann miller was the best tap dancer and could do 500 taps in one minute. She was also known for her machine gun footwork. However i heard that eleanor powell was the best tap dancer and is known for her machine gun footwork as well. Which one is better? Or are they both the same? is one just faster than the other? And is the 500 taps in one minute true?

I saw Ann Miller do her 500 taps in a minute routine.  Eleanor Powell is before my time. Yes, 500 a minute is true.

Answer 2

thinking back, I would have to say that they were equal.
