Thank you, Miss Megan Megan Shearer for an amazing class full of silliness! It was so fun to see these kids learn to let loose and give it their all without being afraid of being too silly (because there’s no such thing!).
We spent day 1 of our historic tapping classes learning The Walkaround/The Coles Stroll. Charles “Honi” Coles had a famous saying, “if you can walk, you can tap dance” and this famous dance of his was made to emphasize that point. We had a blast learning this one today, great job dancers!
