"On Tap" 2nd Annual

Tap Showcase

A Happy Memory Note from Stacey

Thank you to all dancers, your families, and friends that participated in the Showcase Friday night. You were all so prepared and looked great on stage and off. The fans (both mechanical and human) arrived in force for our hot evening.

Yes, it was a hot show in more ways than one.

Thank you to Bobbe, Deborah, and Marie for the extra

fans. Thank you Tim & Heather for welcoming our guests and running the raffle. Thank you Jordan for scooping up sweet treats for all. Thank you Meenal and Deborah for the beautiful flowers. Thank you Andrew Cooper for helping start our music. Thank you Janaya, Jordan, Austin, Stacy, Sarah, and Mark for arriving early to set up. Thank you Sarah, Deborah, Bobbe, Sheri, Janaya, and Deanna for staying late to clean up. There are so many more thank you's, I know I have missed many so please know how

much you are all appreciated.

Video tapes of the showcase evening are available.

Thanks to the wonderful volunteer video recording by Pete Melin. Thank you Pete! If you would like a copy please let me know. A $5.00 donation is appreciated for the food share or the Gregory Hines Foundation.

Dance a New Day

By Sarah Katreen Hoggatt

From Australia to Africa we’ve learned how to swing,

Zipadeed-doodahed to that zodiac ring.

The clock has been rockin’ with a peppermint twist,

The spiders are hoppin’, how cute can you get?

Improving a riot, to dance from within,

Laughing with partners, learning show-grin.

And though all the beats are no longer there,

We remember brave Bailey and Ophelia the fair.

We dance to Chicago, we dazzle in red,

Collecting our food, donating our bread.

For it is not to ourselves alone are we born,

We’re steppin’ out with our baby for the diseased and the worn.

Though we’re working on turns, love to tap to Broadway,

We’re all here to live-

To love-

And dance-

A new day.

Note: After the pictures load, there will be three that will take a little longer as they are actually videos. When the page is first loaded, they will show as blue squares, simply run your mouse over the box and the video will appear. After the first time, the video will be still like a picture. Simply run your mouse over it again any time you want to see it and the video will repeat twice.
