    naw - its all 'street' dance these days. I don't get it though? who decides what a 'street dance' is? did gene Kelly do a 'street dance'? what is the difference between 'street dance' and doing it indoors? is any aspect of Tap dancing allowed?

    Now that's what I call a tap dance. A sensuously wet experience. You'd be positively dripping all over after one like that.

    but you could sing... "I'm shaaaaagging in the rain.... " ...

    Nothing like a bit of the old 'how's your father' in a torrential downpour.. it brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'slippery when wet'

    :p

    I have had a few dances with people who are tapped.
    It is nice to see the value of your house going up'' Why ?
    Unless you are planning to sell up and not live anywhere, I can;t see the advantage.
    If you are planning to upsize the new house will cost more.
    If you are planning to downsize your new house will cost more than it should
    If you are trying to buy your first house its almost impossible.

    Please don't judge me but, I've had many tap dances, I started very young, it feels good to be able to talk about it now to be honest.

    Don't think that they are enjoying it, They are only doing it for the money.

    Depends of you're co-ordinated or not really! I used to teach tap, and if you have rythmn then you'll be fine. However, you get alot that cant cntrol their feet and it just sounds like noise! The tap you see takes years of work, not just a shuffle hop ball change. Also, depends if you're serious and want to learn to tap with teletones. They're the ones that rattle and make a lovely noise should they be used right! Starters you sound like a horrible scraping sound as taps for beginners are usually just metal screwed in. Teletones rattle as you tap. IYSWIM?
