My New Hobby

So almost 45 years later I've taken up tap dancing again. I'm having the time of my life. I love this group of girls. We laugh and have so much fun trying to learn the new steps. I'm so happy that Lora, my best friend, and Kristi, my adorable daughter-inlaw are taking with me. Karen is the other woman and she's a lot of fun.
Here I am at the Festival of Trees. Our first performance!! We danced to Rock Around The Christmas Tree.

Makinely and Gentry have been taking also. They did so well and I was so proud of them. They weren't nervous a bit to get on the huge stage.
Kayleen and Kay, Cyndee and Becka and Rog came to support me. I could hear them hootin and a hollerin in the audience. I appreciated them making the effort to come and watch.
I took tap lessons around the age of 9 or so. I can remember the song and even part of the dance. Last summer someone had placed a flyer on my doorstep about taking tap lessons. It instantly brought me back to that time in my life and I knew that I wanted to take again. So I signed up along with Lora and then I convinced Kristi to come and take with us. It's been so much fun every Thurs. to get together and learn all the new steps and trying to remember them. Mom would be so happy that her money spent on tap lessons when I was a little girl has finally paid off. ha ha.
