Allan used to Tap Dance nearly 70 years ago and very much enjoyed it. When he heard about our Tap Dance classes, he was excited to return to the hobby he did as a child. For Allen, it’s way of keeping fit alongside going to the gym.

Allen served in the RAF for 30 years – when he came back he served with the Air Cadets and was a Duke of Edinburgh instructor for 12 years, walking 17-18k a day.

“I’ve surprised myself with what I can do. It also gives encouragement to others in the class – if I can do it they can too!

“One fellow Student said she used to finish work and go home and sit on the sofa – now she is glad to come to class!

“The best thing is facilities are great: the dance studio is really good. There’s a great bond among us as a group of students.”
