Hats & Taps Hit the Big Time!

 Saturday, April 21st, Hats & Taps hit the live entertainment arena.  Good Day Sacramento at Channel 31 aired two segments of Hats & Taps tapping away.  First, The Charleston, and second to Roxie.  What a fun and interesting experience this was!  Sharing our love of tapping and the joy of giving to the community in the ways we do, made this day beyond imagining.
Hat & Taps on stage.
This is a perfect opportunity to reiterate our involvement with the Retired Senior Volunteers Program (RSVP).  The ladies in Hats & Taps belong to RSVP, thus contributing their hours of practice and entertaining to that program.  There is no charge for our entertaining and Carol, our leader, teacher, choreographer, does the calendaring for all of Hats & Taps shows.  If someone wishes to book the group, they can reach Carol through RSVP at Sacramento County.   Information will be forwarded and Carol will return the call.   
 Ever the teacher, Carol readies her team.
Being unable to tap yet, taking pictures behind the scenes was a second string position.  The crew here were wonderful and not only allowed pictures but gave some good suggestions for shots.  This is the picture framed in their big camera.
 And this is the shot from the left including their camera. 
Thanks Mr. Cameraman!  How fun!
Okay, on with the show!

 Practicing in the break room between takes.  All the gals care about their performances but realize the most important thing is to smile and have fun.  Carol's constant reminder.
Watching the live show on the monitor and preparing for Roxie, the gals look great! Did someone say Senior?  Let's say very active and lively over sixty but not feeling very senior.
 One camera trained on the feet shows on the screen up above, while the other shoots straight on.
 Hats off ladies!  What a great day and experience.  The whole Channel 31 gang were so encouraging and clapped and cheered making us all feel so good.  Thanks to all of you!  Was it Lou who lead us to this gig? Many thanks to everyone involved in promoting Hats & Taps and what we do!
