. . . .So I am taking a Tap Class.  Now I know exactly the image that is going through your head right now.

I may look like a dancing hippo, but I will tell you that I am having a lot of fun.  Here is how it started.

Our Piano Teacher is taking a 6 months sabbatical, so I found myself looking for some guitar lessons for the kids.  Our Community Center held a class, so I signed up LBG (Little Big Guy) and Scout for lessons.  The lessons are one hour-long, so I looked in the Adult Enrichment Section of the catalog to see how I could spend one hour of my time.  I was expecting the usual “Nutrition for Over Forty”, or “How To Write Your Will”, or “Meet Your PC”  or something equally exciting.  What I found was “Adult Tap” was the only Adult Enrichment Class offered at the same time.  So. . . . .so. . . . .so what!  There are four of us in the class, and we are tip-tapping away.  And I will tell you one more thing.  It is a lot harder than you think.

Now because I love you so much, and because I know that you will not laugh at my attempts at dancing or at my “mommi figure”.  And because I know that you won’t show this video of my tap class around to everyone in the world, and their neighbor, and their cousin, and their cousin-in-law; I am letting you in on a sneak preview.
