25.01.2022 Last week was fun, but a bit scrappy as everyone adjusted to being back in class. Today it was like we’d never had a break, so much beautiful noise, so many smiles, so much fun. Love my job, love my students, my tapkids.
24.01.2022 Some feels from this mornings classes. My Kidtappers rock my world . I all of them; and I their energy, craziness, enthusiasm and talent. The end of the year gets very hectic because its not long til they show off their routines (December 8th ) but its a good kind of hectic and how could I not enjoy myself working with these fabulous human beings?
24.01.2022 Last adults’ tap class for 2020 with e glam and gorgeous Wednesday crew.
24.01.2022 First class back, here’s 3 of the 5 classes being introduced to their Term 2 routines. Not shown, the most junior and the most senior classes or the bit where I had to deal with a visiting redback spider armed only with some spray disinfectant and a tapshoe (final score Miss Caroline 1, deadly spider 0. Usually I would just escort wildlife outside the hall but not this venomous critter while there’s little kids round #straya )
24.01.2022 Dress rehearsal today with the glorious kidtappers
22.01.2022 Gotta learn a quick Christmas routine in the final class of December
21.01.2022 Sad but necessary. Stay healthy, stay balanced (if you can). Love and strength to you all xx Miss Caroline

21.01.2022 First live online class tonight with these awesome chicks. This is us having a little debrief afterwards. It was so nice to see everyone
21.01.2022 Who is that Masked Person!? Oh it’s just me letting you know that [if you’re over the age of 12] masks need to be worn to class tonight and for the next week or so. Previous mask guidelines said masks could be removed during strenuous exercise: at time of posting i can’t find specific directives about this but will let you know asap. Meanwhile we have great social distancing in place and lots of fresh air and ventilation so let’s dance baby! Celebrate International Tap Dance Day with me!
20.01.2022 Please admire the Monday 8pm Absolute Beginner class - look at them go after only 8 weeks of classes!! Thanks it has been an absolute pleasure to dance with you.
20.01.2022 Just a reminder that classes are running Saturday for the kids and Monday for the Grown-ups and Tuesday morning for the bubs. No classes on Tuesday evening just in case Miss C decides to have a glass of champagne at luncheon
20.01.2022 Also how beginner tap dancers feel

19.01.2022 Tap in the Time of Covid-19
19.01.2022 Halfway through their second term, halfway through learning the Shimsham, all-the-way through learning this routine. Wednesday Absolute Beginners are smashing it
19.01.2022 Late June!!! Im excited
19.01.2022 Only one spot left in the Monday 8pm adults Absolute Beginners course starting next week! Will it be you? Or it’s not too late to join the Wednesday 7pm class, even though we had our fabulous first session this week. Get in touch if you’re keen
19.01.2022 I lost another hour of teaching yesterday (this is the THIRD time thats happened, for 3 different reasons, see below) and these tech stuff-ups are now so commonplace that I just feel really calm about it, like oh yeah, *that* is the problem I have to deal with this week. No point crying over spilled milk as they say. I choose instead to focus on all the wonderful feedback my awesome students are sending me, full of support and encouragement, and, crucially, telling me that t...hese classes are something they look forward to and enjoy. I do have the worlds best students, I say this all the time because its true. And I miss seeing them in person like crazy. (I didnt notice my phones memory was full, so for 3 x 20 minute sessions I recorded, only 5 minutes of each were stored.. Previously, I lost a whole class in the transfer-to-computer process one week, and then last week didnt notice my phone charger was not switched on at the power-point so my phone battery died during recording. At least its never the same mistake twice, hey )
18.01.2022 Our fabulous festive finale what a beautiful bunch of people. Thank you all for your joyful dancing on Thursday. It takes guts to get up in front of a crowd so I hope that roaring acclaim and standing ovation made up for all your pre-show nerves xx
18.01.2022 I was *this* close to leaving home without my tap shoes First night back woohoooooo
18.01.2022 The Tuesday Intermediates on their final class for Term One. Afterwards we had celebratory drinks and it was excellent
18.01.2022 So happy to be tapping IRL with people again! These gorgeous experienced beginner students joined me in the thoroughly disinfected tap hall tonight for a socially distant school holiday tap class SO MUCH FUN and so lovely to see everyone
18.01.2022 Hooray State Government has just announced further easing of restrictions which means dance classes will soon be on again!!! Yay! Were allowed to run indoor classes as of June 22nd, following social distancing and hygiene guidelines, but as that week is the final week of term, my classes will mostly wait until start of Term 3 to really launch. (Thats July 13th for those of you without school age children) Ive missed everyone so much! Classes for kids wont need restricted class sizes which makes life easier Adult classes will need a bit more finessing to fit in with restrictions but we will manage! Im also hoping to announce some school holiday classes soon.
18.01.2022 It was this group -the Bette Midlers- that got the outside classes happening, and Im so glad they did! I hope more of our classmates can join us next time. It was so much fun.
17.01.2022 No casual tap classes this Tuesday 1st October because Ill be busy celebrating the 16th birthday of this little cherub. (I couldnt decide which photo )
17.01.2022 The tap hall has been empty so long that the front door was in danger of being swallowed by the vines Looking forward to opening up tomorrow for the first classes of Term 1, 2021
17.01.2022 This is gorgeous

15.01.2022 Hi All, have just seen the announcement that Melbourne is returning to stage 3 restrictions for the next 6 weeks, so online classes will be back for at least half of Term 3. Emails tomorrow to nut out details. Apologies to any new students, under these circumstances I can only offer options for current students. Keep well everyone, stay home, do your part. Lets beat this again. Miss Caroline
14.01.2022 If you would like to be an awesome dancing queen like the Bette Midlers*, but youre a Beginner, then maybe youd like to try the Tuesday Morning 10:15am Nanna Tap class starting on Feb 4th. Its a gentle beginner level class, guaranteed to get you moving and grooving and learning the FUN-damentals of tap-dancing. You dont have to be a Nanna to join either, everyone is welcome. The class is suitable for people with bad memories, or maybe recovering from injury, or fitness-challenged or who just like to learn at a slow-and-steady pace. Get in touch if youre keen to try *the Artists Formerly Known as Nanna Tap
13.01.2022 This is how teaching a two-footed pickup to the Gliders Class went this morning ... Me: I’m going to teach you a new step...
12.01.2022 I pinched this from an American tap teacher and modified it to suit my students. Call BINGO if you get 5 in a row! Tell me which row (1,2,3,4,5) or column (A,B,C,D,E)
12.01.2022 I cant show you the awesome beginner tap students so here is a still of me teaching my awesome beginner tap students. All of the students in my three Monday classes are doing so well and they are tremendous fun to teach and to dance with
11.01.2022 Wishing everyone a happy tappy Christmas Dance on Groovers xxx
11.01.2022 Hi Katebushkas Past and Future To alleviate lockdown slumps I am planning to run some Zoom classes to teach Wuthering Heights, from my loungeroom to yours. Red dress optional but side note, wearing one WILL improve your dancing. Please get in touch if youre interested. Therell be a small charge per class (5). Times to be confirmed pending interest. PS This is not tap-dancing, its learning the routine from the classic Kate Bush video, as we did for the big Wuthering Heights Day a few years back!
10.01.2022 Happy International Tap Dance Day 2020. Heres a flashback to a mere 6 months ago when my adult students had their end of year celebration and we all were allowed to be at close quarters with each other. I miss them and all my kidtappers so much. Tap is the most fun when you dance with others.
09.01.2022 Voucher for a free term of tap classes being dropped off today for the fabulous Fitzroy North Primary School Fete 2019. This fete is always amazing and the silent auction has a huge range of great items up for grabs, so why not go along, enjoy the great food and entertainment and snap up a bargain!

09.01.2022 Fred Astaire goes to the gym
09.01.2022 To distract myself from the horror of the bushfire crisis Ive been making a video montage of the adult tap concert. And then I thought it might be a good distraction for others. So here you go. These (non-professional) students dancers did an amazing job and produced a room full of happy and that seems a good thing to share tonight.
09.01.2022 Big thanks to tap student Mandy for taking the time to leave me a wonderful google review. Not only is it really awesome for me as a teacher to receive this sort of feedback, it is also so helpful for me as a small business operator. If you know someone who has a small business, you can really help them by showing and sharing online your appreciation for what they do Thanks again Mandy x
06.01.2022 Putting in the endings for some of our mini-term routines. At least one routine per term has to finish with kids lying on the ground.
06.01.2022 Kids were a-MAZ-ing today for their end of year concert. Thank you one and all for the joy & energy & discipline & great tapping today. I adore all of you and love teaching tap to you. Massive thanks also to the tech team who keep it all afloat - Nell, Steve, Andy, Jake and the Groover class, special mention to Cath who jumped in to drive the sound desk at the last minute also big thanks to the media team Bronwen Healy Photography and Darren Tindale Photography - looking forward to seeing the beautiful images. I am exhausted now, but so very happy with what we achieved today and this year. YES WE CAN Kidtap

06.01.2022 Vale Tim Brooke-Taylor. This was an homage to The Goodies from my Kidtap Show in 2019. I loved the inspired silliness of The Goodies and try to share that spirit with my kidtappers.
