Teacher Amber and three of our students joined in at the last minute with this Tapathon just after Lockdown started. We are very proud to announce that along with everyone else in the country they helped to raise £50,000.
In 1977, Roy Castle joined 500 other participants to perform the then largest tap dance at the BBC TV Centre. Every year they host a National Tapathon to honour the legacy of this remarkable man, and this year it was extra special to mark 30 years since Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation was founded.

Amber and the three girls each were awarded a medal which has now got to them all as obviously we dont see each other for real so much these days! The certificate is up at the studios for when we can open again soon – hopefully!
We are also involved in another Tapathon on November- it may be live, but if not we can still raise money as above if we do it online. Let me know if you want to learn the routine (online for now) – this Tapathon is with the Performers Project and will raise money for Children In Need and is on 15th November 2020 – get involved and do something positive in lockdown !
