The Beat is in Your Feet, but the Art is in Your Heart

My tap teacher, Ms. Patty, gave us a cute sheet with that saying on it one of our first days of tap class. I started tap dancing when I was five at Gray School of Dance. I stopped when I left for college thirteen years later. However, recently I received my 98.7wfmt Fine Arts Circle newsletter; for $35 a year I'm a member of this local broadcasting club. The newsletter is filled with different discounts and information about Chicago area fine arts events. This month's included an advertisement for National Tap Dance Day! I'm ecstatic! I called right away I bought my sister and I tickets, two for the price of one thanks to my discount, to the National Tap Dance Day performance and pre-show tap class. We're attending this Thursday night, and we're looking for a place to take tap classes this summer. She also tap danced for a number of years.
