Eskaton Fair Oaks

Hats & Taps fared well at Eskaton Fair Oaks! 
April 29th found us at another new venue for some of us.
Marie, Liz, Lois, Linda2, Mary, Connie, Linda1, 
Carolyn & Carol love our Charleston numbers costumes!
One of Carol's latest ideas is to star a couple of the gals
 and bring new formations to our dances.
 Linda 1 and Carolyn perform in front to "Everything Old is New Again"
while the rest of us play back up.
I'm ready for my close up Mr. Demille!
 For "All That Jazz", Lois, Liz and Marie take center stage.
 We take our turn in the chair...
ham it up for the audience....
do the shimmy, ..and all that jazz.
The Charleston is a peppy number with Linda 2 leading out.
We enjoy the energy from the wonderful audience.
And put more pep into the real Charleston step
That was so much fun and went fast!
We twirl our skirts in "I Love You So."
With 3 rows changing to Carol's clever choreography in this dance,
everyone gets time in the front.

After "Roxie", we leap with Mr. Bear keeping an eye on our line.
Here we come, ... with "Boys from New York City".
Ok Carol, are you going to change the step this time?
Keeping up with Carol keeps us ever on our toes, and always smiling! 
Another group shot this time with our entertainer and music player, 
ta da....Ruthie!
Thank you very much Eskaton Fair Oaks! We enjoyed every minute.
Thanks also to Eric who took the pictures this time.

Eskaton M Lodge

 April 24 Eskaton Monroe Lodge greeted us again. 
 Hats & Taps having fun with Carol's latest rendition of
 "Everything Old Is New Again".
 Carol's in the pink and always smiling!
 Carolyn and Linda 1 lead this dance.
Carolyn, Lois, Connie, Linda 2, Marie, Linda 1, Carol and Mary
dance "All That Jazz" and the "Charleston" to finish first set.
 
 We love the showy "I Love You So"!

Lois's skirt shimmers.....
as we all try to shine with "Roxie" and "Boy From new York City."

 You cannot catch Mary without a gleeful grin!
   Even from the back we sparkle!
Connie misses Liz in The Windy City segment.
Ruth is getting really good at catching certain poses!
Thanks, as always, Eskaton Monroe!
