Hats & Taps spent January tapping into the new year. 

For our first show on February 17th we danced at Country Club Manor

 And donned our new costume.

 Little Old Lady always gets some chuckles and we love it.

 Steppin' Out is such fun music...

 followed by Do You Love Me

then Ta Da, the first set is finished in no time.

 Anchors Aweigh  and away we play

Carol and Connie leading the way.

 Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy is a peppy number.

Hats & Taps finishes their Valentine's Day tribute with

 Tribute to the Armed Forces.  May love be felt by all!

 Thank You Country Club Manor. Always a wonderful staff and audience!  Thanks to Glenn and Mary's beautiful niece as well for taking pictures and video!

Christmas Season 2016

For Hats & Taps, four wonderful shows in December brought 2016 tapping to an end.

We started out at Crown Plaza on December 7th.

With our entertainer and Emcee Ruthie.

A wonderful audience as usual.

Christmas in Kilarney

Farewell Crown Plaza. See you next year.

December 8 and Hats & Taps headed to Roseville Commons.

Always a favorite audience!

Lots of Irish ham going on here!

We love the ending with a quick toe, toe.

December 9th we wound up at Winding Commons.
No pictures taken but Videos to come.

Campus Commons saw our final show on the 14th.

Carolyn, Connie, Marie, Carol and Lois

Only five of us filled in for the group but had a fun time doing so!

Hats & Taps enjoyed mixing up their costumes for this last show.

A hearty thank you to everyone who supported our group this year and invited us into your entertainment world!

What a year it's been!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Carol's Special Birthday Plus 4 More

Hats & Taps celebrated another 80th milestone on November 29th. 

Our wonderful dance teacher, leader, choreographer and friend turned 80 this month. We presented Carol with a quilt made of love, and pieces from many of our costumes. Warm memories are tied tightly into this gift accompanied by a great deal of gratitude. 

Other birthday honorees were Marie, Linda 1 and Carol 2 in back with Lois and Carol in front.

 Mary, Connie, Carolyn, Liz and Linda 2 joined in the festivities as well of course and we ate and opened cards and laughed....and ate.  Mary made a delicious chicken chile.

The glam twins having so much fun, it's fuzzy.

 Then we set the cake on fire!

 The candle did not cooperate at first.

But we made the most of it and did not burn down the house.

 We had collected writings, poems and pictures from many of Carol's students and put them into a memory binder.

 So many memories!

All of us like to travel down memory tap lane!

 Carol opening the crazy quilt box.

 Carol cuddling the comfort kitty that was copped from her cozy tap room unnoticed.

 Another great birthday bash and especially honoring our favorite teacher.

May comfort kitty look after all of us!

Comfort kitty was conceived by Carol as a wonderful way to pass on our warm wishes to anyone who was having hard times. Kitty has been around and still symbolizes our caring for each other.

Yes SIRS

 Hats & Taps had a delightful time dancing for a SIRS luncheon
 on October 12th .

Fremont Presbyterian Church's stage is a treat to tap on.

Connie did the honors of introducing the group.

Lois, Mary, Liz, Marie, Connie and Carol command their canes.

Kickin' it in New York, New York.

How can you not have fun with Frank Sinatra?

It's a joy to jive to the music of Steppin' Out!

Flirting 101 at its best, with the audience, taught by teacher Carol.

One Singular Sensation - such happy hat work!

 That show really sped by.

Carol, Liz, Connie, Marie, Marie sans hat, and Lois.

Thank you so much Sirs luncheoners! You were a wonderful audience and we enjoyed our time with you. Hope to see you again!
