• 3:48
  Speaker 3: a unique event was Tapathon. So we did Tapathon last year.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: And Tapthon is a thing where, like so many people
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: like across the country, would you the same tap routine
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: to the same song at the exact same time on
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the same day for children that need to raise money
• 4:08

  Speaker 4: Guinness World Record. And we didn't beat it this year.
• 4:12

  Speaker 2: Were we think we were one hundred and twenty six
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: people's short.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Oh so it's not many, is it? Because I mean,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: how many thousand did actually ever go? Was it three
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: or seven? I can't I don't.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Actually know how many, but I know I've seen some
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of the pictures of like the day, and there are
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: hundreds of pictures with different dance schools coming loads of people.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I did look into it, and I can't know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: You're right, I can't remember if it was three thousand
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: or seven thousand, but to be just one hundred and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: twenty six short. There's only a few schools, really, isn't it.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: You know? Yeah? Okay, flow, So tell us about your
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: favorite day in the year.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: So it's not really event but like every now and
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: again we do a photoshoot with Tia and she's a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: really lovely lady and is based at the Harbor on
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: and she's based in Home Bay, and she travels around
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Kent to like take loads of other people's pictures and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: like she's really good photos.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: And so that was your favorite one, was it?
• 5:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Okay, brilliant. Well, let me just tell you a little
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: story about tapathon because I was going to talk about
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: it later on in the show. But I've got a friend, right,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: and he's my age. He's very old right, In fact,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: is just a little bit older than me. He's seventy
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: four and he only started tap dancing about a year ago.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: And his group they live in London, and his group
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: they did their tapathon same time and same day as
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you at Victoria Station. And what they did they did
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: it underneath the board where all the train departures go, right,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: so everyone's look, everyone has to come to the board
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to look at the train departures, and then they did
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: this tapathon right in front of all these people in
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Victoria Station. And he sent me a video and sure
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: enough it was a certain song that we might be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: playing later on. But yeah, so tapathon is for everybody.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Your mom did it as well, didn't she?
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom did it, Kirsty did it. I did it,
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: and then there was other people from our tap classes
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: who did it as well.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: That's a great idea. I mean, do you know where
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: it stems from? Kirsty whose idea it was or so.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: The people that run it are called the Performer Project,
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: but I don't really know anything about them other than
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: that they run the event itself.
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: They do it every year.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: So as soon as we've done it, I already got
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: an email with the date of the next year, have
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: you yes?
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? And the how long before the event do you
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: get the song? How long did you get to practice?
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: So we get the song, I would say probably in
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: like May time, and we get a video as well,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: so I have to learn it from the video and
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: then teach it, which can be challenging, but it's a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: good challenge for me.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: So yeah, Well, there's two songs coming up which Clever
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Clogs Blossom are spotted on the play leader, but a
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: bit I'm interested because one I think would be quite
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: good to tap two, but the other one is a
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: bit tougher, So I might be asking you about that
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show. So, Kirsty,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: has it been a good year? I mean, you've sent
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: me a list of things you've been doing, and it
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: looks like you've had a really busy year.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we've had such a busy year. It's just a
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: bit mad. As soon as I've booked stuff, I've had
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: more stuff being booked. We've had invites to events that
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I haven't even had to like message and say can
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: we attend? They just want us to attend events we
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: did last year that have got bigger that we've done
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: again this year, as well as new events. Some events
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: didn't go ahead, like the Christmas light switch on.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: I was going to talk to you about that. That
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: was a big disappointment, wasn't it for everybody? Everybody in
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the town and you and your team were performing again.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were really upset to not be performing. But
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: I think health and safety comes first. Yes, it wouldn't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: be fair on them or me or everybody else stood
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: there in the rain, do it in the wind doing it?
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I remember I listened back to our interview last year
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and towards a bit it was a bit rainy then,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: wasn't it. And I think it was flow brought at
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: the point that, of course when it rains, it gets
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: slippery on stage at outside events. So it was probably
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the right call, wasn't it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely the right call.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: And we also had an event in the summer that
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: got canceled because of the rain as well.
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: Did you Yeah, just chucked it down with rain.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's bring you in Daisy in a daisy. How
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: long have you been dancing?
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: I've been dancing for about like three years.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: Now, have you?
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And do you follow one particular style you know, ballet,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: tap or you do try and do everything?
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: What's your favorite doing contemporary?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay? And what about did you do tapathon?
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: No?
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I don't do tap No, okay, So that's fair enough.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, I've tried it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It's not for you then, but that's better. It's better
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: if you like, because you can put tap to one
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: side and concentrate on other stuff. Can't you. Yeah, yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: good right, Okay, Well think it's about time we had
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: a bit of music and well this might bring back
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: some happy memories. It might bring back some nightmares for
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: some of you too, as ever listened to this, and
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: then we'll have a chat after this one. Well that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: was why I'm there and wake me up before you
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: go go And that was the so old that last
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: year was the Tapathon song, so we we might have
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a chat about that in a minute, because I think
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that this year's song was a bit tougher. I don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: know what the girls think. But anyway, we're gonna have
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a chat with Kirsty now. So Kirsty, tell us a
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: little bit about your background and how you got the
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: com dance school going. Was it like a little ambition
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to have your own dance floor.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so I'm always like wanting my own dance school.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: I've talked for various companies across Kent, but just really
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: wanted my own that I could do whatever I want
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: with basically. And it wasn't until COVID hit and everything
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: kind of shut down and I was left with no
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: teaching and.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh what do I do?
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: And then I moved down to folks, and so I'm
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: originally from Tunbridge, and when I moved, I realized there
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: wasn't really anything kind of there like that that I
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: had been brought up with. So I wanted to make
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that possible for them. That's why we do so many
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: events and I try to give them all the opportunities
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: that I can possible because I think I've had them
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: and it's made me kind of the person who I am,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: and it's allowed me to grow that. I want them
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: to experience that as well.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: So did you see a little sort of niche in
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the market down here that there's you know, there wasn't
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: many dance schools?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, there's not really many around that I know of,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: or if they are, then they're not necessarily doing what
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: I want to do, which is the more kind of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: fun side of dance rather than training to be a
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: ballerina or go to university.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: So when you started, I mean, did you like just
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: have two people doing up on the first night and
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you think, oh, what have I done here? And has
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: it kind of grown and grown since?
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: So when I started, I had I think one class
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: that the easy came.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: To did you Daisy, well done? And what what would
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: come in Daisy? What was it like on the foot?
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Had you danced before or was that the first time
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: you'd been to a dance class.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: It was the first time I've been to a dance class.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: And how did you feel when you feel you know,
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: there's only a couple of other people? Was a bit nervous.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: I was quite nervous, but then I got used to it.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, good boy, down to you. And so
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Kirsty is grown and grown is it now? Are you
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: still got spaces or are you like maxed out?
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah? So we've grown quite a lot.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: And within like the first couple of years, I think
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I only had maybe like twelve students an hour up
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to twenty five cluss Oh right, yeah, but do you
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: still have spaces? So yeah, it definitely can take more
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: more students.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Okay, So let's come to flow. Yeah you there, she's
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: noted off in the corner. Look, come on, give her
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: a loossom flow. How long have you been dancing?
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: I've been dancing for like two years and over?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, okay. And and when you went through the
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: first class, had you ever danced anywhere else before?
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: I done baby ballet, but like Cam dance was my
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: first like official dance. It was like I was quite nervous,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: but like I got used to it.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well that's only natural, isn't it. There's nothing
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: wrong with that. Okay, you blossom. I mean the dance,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: you know, the dance classes seem to be some of
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: them are down at Hive. But where do you go
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: when you go to came and dance?
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: So on a Tuesday I go down to Saint John's
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Church in Folkeston to do tap classes. Wednesdays and Thursdays
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: we go down to Palmash Church and on a Friday
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: we go to the Hive Sports pavilion.
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: So I've got my week booked out.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Oh right, that's it. So no more running or park
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: runs these days. Yeah all right, word with your mum
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: and dad. It does actually keep you fit. So actually
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: coming back, that is a good point. I mean, I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: know this is a small show and I love having
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you on. And it must give your students. Have you
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: got any male boys students?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: I have one little five year old.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it must give them, you know, a good
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: aerobic background to breathing and the flexibility. Is there any
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: other benefits or just tell us about those benefits.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: So we run a strength of Flexibility class, so we
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: focus in that class kind of all on like the
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: core and like building a stamina and getting our legs
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: stronger so that we can jump higher and all that
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: sort of things. So I think that has a benefit,
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: and I can definitely tell the ones that do that
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: class have significantly improved in their other classes as well.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean you can see people like Daisy that
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: have been there since day one, the improvement that she's done.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely, Yeah. I have like little progress sheets
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: for them all that we do. In December, we have
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: black An Awards night, and I make all these progress
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: sheets for them and I award them with like what
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: they've achieved basically throughout the year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, so that's really good and for you blossom
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: in you come when you were when you did a
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: few park rounds, I saw you do a few park runs.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Do you really think that your ballet or your tap
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: training helped you were you breathing?
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure because when I would used to do
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: like the running on all the park ground stuff, I
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: hadn't started with my dance yet, so at the time
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: I wasn't that sure on it because like when I
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: was like a lot younger, a few months old or
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: something like that, like two years old or something like that,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: I did start doing baby ballet, and then when I
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: turned five, I left and then moving on, I did
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: gymnastics and then left. And I'm guessing the gymnastics would
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: have helped as well because of learning on the movement
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and like the flexibility type way of it, that it
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: would help with my breathing doing the running.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm sure if you did it the other
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: way around, if you did park run first and then
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: did the dancing, I'm sure that you know your breathing
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: would have been Yeah.
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: Running running did did really help with with my dancing.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Good, good, excellent. Okay, I think it's time for another
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: song now, and this one. I don't know how you
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: did the tapath onto this one, but let's have another
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: little listen, shall we. What an interval that was? That
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: was awesome and that was spice up your life. And
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: I've just been taking a video of our three lovely
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: dancers actually dancing in the studio, and sooner or later,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I'm going to share that with you. That
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: was brilliant. Okay, So we're on to our and final link.

• 17:35
  Speaker 3: comps that we do.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay. And do you find that do you do
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: stuff on your own or as a team?

  Speaker 4: And we all did solos.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Flow, you were like two points away from getting third,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: which was really impressive.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: And that was really good.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: And there were two other comps which I thought I
