I've been following your thread since I came across it and saw your love for dance. My kids who were involved in dance gave me a pair of Tap shoes for Christmas about 5 years ago, and I haven't quit since. Nowhere near competition level, but it's fun and a good workout. I even took adult ballet for a year. Man, that stuff is really tough! I have a whole new appreciation for those who make it look so easy. It takes a lot of hard work. Wish I had come across it in my younger days...
