Did anyone learn

[Schutzengel]

to Tap Dance as a child, if so are you still able to as an adult, or take up dancing professionally.

yes i learned to tap dance but i developed water on the knee and i had to give up.........

[sqad617]

Right I am not sure that I understand your question, but the fragrant Mrs sqad says " If you learnt to tap dance as a child, you never lose that ability"..................and she is 95yrs old ( the age is a joke!)

If I have missed the point of your question, please let me know.

I did ballet and gymnastics when I was younger, I can stil remember a lot of it but I'm not as flexible as I once was.......:-)

I remember there being tap dancing shoes in cupbaord when I was young but god knows who did it... redcrx!!!!!

[bigmamma]

Hi there , yes , I trained as a dancer from the age of 3 and did learn to tap as well as do ballet and national dance .
I used to do little taps to amuse my dog when she was a puppy , can't do it any more though x

[LoftyLottie2]

Giggling at the thought of bigmamma tapdancing with a puzzled pooch looking on!! ;o)

[bigmamma]

Hee , it was funny , she would go up on her back legs and dance around with her tail wagging ...way out of sight of the neighbours I hasten to add !

[rinkins]

LOL bigmamma, my cats just look at me like I am some kind of fruit loop when I'm prancing around the kitchen x

[ummmm]

I used to do Irish dancing. I was entered into the 'all Ireland' but we couldn't afford it :-(

[redcrx]

yes, i did do tap when i was little. I had little red shoes 4get lol

cant do it now though

[bigmamma]

Hee , I can imagine it rinkins :-D
Lol@ 4get and recrx :-D

[bigmamma]

....here it is ....d*

[rinkins]

He he redcrx, I wondered if you were going to 'fess up!

[sqad617]

I'm not musically minded ( not like "her indoors") but I did enjoy Billy Elliot.

Oh! My - What talented people we have on here.

Stoke - I'm still giggling at your answer.

Sqad - I hope you are not going to get into trouble with Mrs. Sqad - fancy suggesting she's '95', I'd keep out of her way for a bit if I was you. :-) As to the point of my question, I was wondering how many people remained flexible enough in adulthood. Agree with Mrs. Sqad, it's a bit like learning to ride a bike, once learned never forgotten. I really enjoyed the dancing, but unfortunately am not quite as young as I used to be.

Bigmamma - Lovely, I'll bet your puppy enjoyed your antics.

Rinkins - You're not on your own, I still dance around the kitchen with cats in my arms (1 cat at a time though), and they seem to enjoy it. :-)

ummmm - What a shame. I'm sorry you didn't get to enter the 'All Ireland'.

Redcrx & 4getmenot - I had little red shoes too, tied with a big red ribbon bow. Happy days.

Thanks to everyone. I have enjoyed all your replies. Schutz.
