LeTang was also one of four winners for Best Choreography at the 1989 Annual Tony Awards.
Apart from Black and Blue, Letang devised dance routines for the Broadway musicals such as My Dear Public and Dream with Music in the mid-1940s, but his first credit as a full-fledged choreographer was the 1952 revue Shuffle Along with Eubie Blake. Twenty-six years later, LeTang would receive Tony and Drama Desk Award nominations for his work on Eubie!, a song-and-dance tribute to the musician.
His additional credits include Sophisticated Ladies (1981), which earned him a second Tony nomination, and Black and Blue (1989), which finally won him the prize.
LeTang was also recently inducted into the International Tap Dance Hall of Fame in 2015.
