Trish caught up with Ty'ronne Haughton who has been part of a project called Tappin In.

Tappin’ In is a co-created mass participation tap dancing and storytelling extravaganza. Celebrating the stories of the West Midlands and the people who call it home, Tappin’ In is bringing people together to tap dance and chat about themselves, whilst having a good time.

130 people from Birmingham, Coventry, Stoke, Rugby, Cannock, Chelmsley Wood, Tamworth and Telford are coming together during spring 2022 to learn to tap dance, whilst also listening to each other’s stories and experiences. Each group spends an hour tap-dancing with their dance captain, before settling down for an hour of creative activity along with a good chat over tea and biscuits.

On 18 June we will all come together to take to the streets of Brindleyplace, Birmingham, for the city's biggest outdoor tap lesson and mass ‘shim sham’, a dance known as the national anthem of tap. Everyone is invited to join us for this joyful day of performance and dance!
