Tap Dogs

Friday, August 24, 2012

Tonight we went to see Tap Dogs at WIN Entertainment Centre which is a 5 minute walk from our apartment.  Part of the summary of the show said, "Combining high-energy dance, theatrical performance and live music, TAP DOGS is a show not to be missed!"  I thought it would be fun to do something different.  Adam is getting back from the states tomorrow, so it was just the kids and me going.  It was a fun show.  We liked seeing just their feet in the beginning.  They had a curtain covering their bodies.  The way they worked in unison was neat.  The kids also like the one guy who danced a variety of dances while tapping.   He shuffled,  moonwalked, pretended to ride a horse, and did the move from Stayin Alive.   He added humor to the show.  The basketball scene was one of our favorites.  They were dribbling with one hand and passing the ball while dancing.  It was impressive.  Near the end of the show, they tap danced in water.  The kids wished we had been in the front row, so we could have gotten wet.  I'll have to find a few other shows to see because it was so easy to walk there.  It was nice to not have to worry about parking or a long drive home. 

It is a smaller place.  I don't think we could have had a bad seat.
