  Speaker 3: talk about the year very shortly, but I want to
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: talk to Kirsty and both of you actually, and this
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: is what started off you guys come in in here
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: is called a tapathon. Now I've explained it several times
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: on the radio over the last couple of weeks, but
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: I want to hear it from the boss. So, so
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Kirsty tell us right from the word go, how you
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: got involved with Tapathon, exactly what it is and the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: bigger picture of everything.
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: So Tapathon is a nationwide UK event and it aims
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: to break the Guinness World Book of Records for the
• 4:43
  Speaker 8: most people tap dancing to the same piece of music
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: at the same time up and down the country. Right,
• 4:50
  Speaker 8: it's there yearly thing and it's run by the Performance
• 4:54
  Speaker 8: Nation I think they're called. And it's just one lady
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: that basically choreographs every thing and she sends it out
• 5:01
  Speaker 8: to all the teachers and then we get involved. You
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: can either say yes or no if we want to
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: do it. We learn it and then we do it
• 5:10
  Speaker 8: all at the same time.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: That's amazing. Yeah, And I mean how long has the
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: tapathon been going? Do you know?
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: I don't actually know. I think it's been going quite
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: a while.
• 5:20
  Speaker 8: So we've done it now for this is our third year,
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: but it's definitely been going longer than that. I just
• 5:28
  Speaker 8: hadn't heard of it before.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Right, And have you got any numbers to tell us
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: how how many people actually do it at one time?
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: So this year there was seven four hundred and thirty
• 5:40
  Speaker 8: eight participants.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I thought there was a bit of a trimmer actually
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: on the rick scale.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: From the war room.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: All the cups were writing in my kitchen sorry, go on.
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: And it was just one hundred and fifty eight people
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: short this year or breaking the gain as well?
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: Record?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Right? We should have we should.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: Have yeah, Right, maybe next year, Yeah.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: We could do it now fifty eight and surely.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: So the logistics of it do you have to apply
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: to say? Yes, I want to do tapathon and I've
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: got a dance at school.
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: So I just saw a post of it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: I think it was on like one of the Facebook
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: groups I'm on for dance teachers about the event, and
• 6:24
  Speaker 8: I just dropped an email and was like, well, I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: really interested, what like what do I need to do?
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: How do I get involved? And she just emailed me
• 6:30
  Speaker 8: back like a long list basically of information about how
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: it works and what happens and what goes on. And
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: then from that point I was like, yeah, we're up
• 6:40
  Speaker 8: for it, or I'm up for it. I don't know
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: if any of my students are, but I'll give it
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: a go. And then I went to class with the
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: idea of doing it and they were all like, yeah,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: sounds great.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: So that's what we.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Did, right? So I mean, how do they record it?
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: Do you have to video it and send it off
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: and then they count the numbers in your class?
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: Yees?
• 7:00
  Speaker 8: So I we have like a date and a time
• 7:04
  Speaker 8: that we have to be dancing. We had to take
• 7:07
  Speaker 8: a picture before we're about to dance so that everyone
• 7:10
  Speaker 8: can be seen, and then we also film it and
• 7:13
  Speaker 8: we have to do the dance twice through, so we
• 7:15
  Speaker 8: have like extended music. So this year I think we
• 7:18
  Speaker 8: danced for just over seven minutes, and then we send
• 7:24
  Speaker 8: that off if we were to break the record, so
• 7:27
  Speaker 8: that they could check that we were all there dancing
• 7:29
  Speaker 8: at the same time.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: So someone at the other end has got the job
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: of checking all these videos and counting.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: That's how the one hundred and fifty.
• 7:38
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and it takes quite a while, so I think
• 7:40
  Speaker 8: we had to wait. Think it was two weeks before
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: we found out if we had or hadn't like met
• 7:47
  Speaker 8: the number for the world record.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: And this particular tune which were going to play short
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: whoever's a judicay and it must be stuck in the
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: head for a date until the day.
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah we hear it, don't we?
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: And now were like, oh okay.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: I can remember a few years ago when my daughter
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: did dance and she was dancing at the Royal albert
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Hole and they had to do a special song and
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I can't get Footloose out of my head now. On
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: that full loose every week for about ten weeks, I
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: don't know that song anymore.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Okay, so Blossom, let's bring you in. But now, Blossom,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: did you take part in tapathon?
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: Yes?
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: You did? You do all different types of dance. Is
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: tap something that you're comfortable with or you find it
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: a bit difficult?
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: I think I'm like quite comfortable with it because it
• 8:35
  Speaker 7: was the first style that I.
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Did, right, okay, And what about you, a flo did
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: you did you take part?
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: No?
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: I don't did tap?
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: That's right, I think I remember last year you said
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: you didn't do tap. But but there's a certain lady
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: in the background that did join in one year, didn't she, Blossom,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: Yes she did, So we might ask her to get
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: her tap shoes out in a minute and just see
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: if she's lost her genuinely, Kirsty, tell us a little
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: bit about your classes. This kind of let's do the
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: serious bit there. You've got classes, different styles, different venues.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Go and blow your own trumpet and telephone.
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: I have al loads of different classes, so we run
• 9:18
  Speaker 8: from a Tuesday to a Friday. We have classes in Folkston,
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: in Hive and at Palmash. We have a range of
• 9:27
  Speaker 8: ages from five all the way up to adults. We
• 9:31
  Speaker 8: have different styles so we have contemporary tap, jazz, ballet,
• 9:37
  Speaker 8: strength and flexibility tap. I say tap two. We have
• 9:44
  Speaker 8: two tap classes, the kids in an adult class. So
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: all right, yeah as well.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: So it's not it's not a youngsters. You've got a
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: senior side to everything.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: I have like a adult tap class and that's the
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: only adult class that I have the rest of them
• 9:59
  Speaker 8: are all children classes.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: All right?
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: How many? How many is your Is your school growing
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: in numbers?
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: Yes? So we have twenty one at the moment.
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Oh well, I don't think you had that many last year.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: No, definitely not.
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: And some of my classes have a wait list for
• 10:13
  Speaker 8: as well at the moment, do you. Yeah. So I'm
• 10:15
  Speaker 8: looking at having to do extra classes to be able
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: to accommodate everyone wants to join flow.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Let's bring you back into and flow. I mean, I
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: can understand that perhaps you don't like. I won't say
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: you don't like, but you don't practice tap. But what
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: sort of dance do you prefer?
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So?
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: I prefer like jazz, ballet, lyrical, contempt.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: All of that. Oh really, jazz. You're not dancing to jazz?
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Do you?
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: That's good for a young Jazz normally is a is
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: a genre of music that if you like older people like,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: so it's good to hear a youngster like in jazz.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: So what about you, Blossom, do you? Is tap your
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: favorite or you've got other styles?
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: TAP's not my favorite?
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: For it is not your favorite? Oh right? Why is
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: that then as you keep pubbing over or something.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: No, there's just other styles that I like more.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: Than to right exactly, So tapathons for you too, well,
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: for you Blossom was a bit of a tough call, then,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: was it?
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: You got there in the end though, Yeah, good? All right? Now,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: is there actually is this video that you made of
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: your tapathon, Kirsty?
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: Did you ever publish that? Or is that sort of
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: stashed away in the archives?
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: I don't think I've published it. I will probably do
• 11:33
  Speaker 8: at the end of every year. There tend to do
• 11:35
  Speaker 8: like a long post is like different clips that of
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: stuff we've done. So I'll probably add that into my
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: little video for what we've done. But they don't tend
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: to post like the whole video.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I think we take a little break now
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: and we're going to play a song that will drive

  Speaker 8: So be is going and want to other dancers. Daisy
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: also got an invite to that, which is pretty cool.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: I like the sound of this one actually essex photo shoot?
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: What was all that about?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: All that was?
• 15:10
  Speaker 8: Oh, so we went to a Synergy and which is
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: a dance competition. And at Synergy there's a photographer that
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: we've seen our quite a few times and we always
• 15:20
  Speaker 8: have a chat and we'll say hello.
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: And he invited.
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: Us, as a dance school to go up and have
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: a photo shoot at his studio and then we could
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: buy the photos. So I think we took I want
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: to say, six dancers for the whole day and he's
• 15:34
  Speaker 8: got like a studio with like mirrors, different backdrops, different
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: props that you could use and stuff like that.
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: So it's pretty cool.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: And what to the pictures? Does he try and sell
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: them to you or promote your dance? Yes?
• 15:47
  Speaker 8: So they all got put online and then the parents
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: could buy them. So we've got a few different photos.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: Some of them are individual photos, some groups, but they
• 15:57
  Speaker 8: weren't all like dance photos. Some of them were like
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: more casual photos.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Is it all inside a studio or did you
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: venture out anywhere?
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: All inside?
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, some of these competitions, how far do you
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: have to travel?
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: So we do travel as far as Essex. We tend
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: to try not to do the Essex ones just because
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: it makes it really really late, like to get back
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: and they normally have school the next day, so we
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: tend to stick to ones that are like Canterbury or
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: Seven Oaks.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Right, So, firsonally, you've got a dance school, and I mean,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: if you really have a pupil that is like absolutely
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: exceptional and really wants to take up dancing as a career,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: are there avenues that you can point them into?
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: Absolutely, So the all the compts we go to give away,
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: like intensive days or scholarships or stuff like that. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: I try and get them into that kind of avenue
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: of their dance career because they're more likely to get
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: seen and then we're like to get the opportunities that way.
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Right A flow You come in there and flow, would
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: you think that dancing is a career for you or
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: you would just like to keep it as a hobby
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: and perhaps do something else.
• 17:15
  Speaker 9: It's a career.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you sound just like my daughter was, and she
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: went on. She went so she went to UNI. She
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: got a first doing dancing at that and she's got
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: her own dance school now in Cardiff. So yeah, she's
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: done very well. Well she said she just had a baby,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: so obviously she's not doing it at the moment, but yeah,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: she's a.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: She's very much like you.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, she went on to do it and that
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: was her career and that was her passion and that's
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: what she did. So you've got all the enthusiasm. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you'll go far.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: You've got to keep it going in flow and you'll
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: be coming back in this radio station for years back
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: found of it. And what about you, Blossom, is it
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: a real passion for you or is it just something
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: that you enjoy doing.
• 17:57
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it's a massive passion for me. I also want
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: to be part of my care.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: You really are good. Yeah, so you would like to
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: go on? And I mean, do you have to stop
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: growing before you, you know, become a dancer, because that
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: might be a I don't know. You always think of
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: dancers being a bit smaller, don't you.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Those ballerinas that some of them are quite tall, just
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: like Blossom.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so Blossom, what do you see happening in
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the future. You just just do your best and hope
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: that someone will pick you up in a dance group.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I either want to like go to a dance
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: college and become professional or open my own dance school.
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, if you want to go to uni doing it,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: I can highly recommend Foulmouth University because it was brilliant
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: for dance.
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Was it all right?
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Okay? And obviously with with with dancing as a career,
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: you will need a backup. So university does that sound
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: a good idea? I know it's a long way off,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: but you need education as well as dance, don't you.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Yes, I always need something to fall back on.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: Okay, So us have a little look. Now this is
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: another one. I like, what's this? Some hot Shots dance competition?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: Sounds good?
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: Tell us about that? That sounds like punchy and.
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: Yeah, so hot Shots is one of our more I
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: would say in challenging competitions. We knew that we were
• 19:17
  Speaker 8: going to be going up against some really good schools
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: and we hadn't been to that one before. But they
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: did really well. It was also really well run. It
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: was a really nice day.
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: We liked. Yeah, we liked it.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: It was good.
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't say it's one of our favorites. Not sure
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: it's one of our favorites going to but we would
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: definitely go again if we had the opportunity to.
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: Okay, well, I think we take a little break now
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: because I'm exhausted talking about all this dancing and Adrian
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: sweating here. So what were we got coming up now?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Well, we've got the ultimate dancing record and you can't
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: play a dance record without playing a bit of Aba.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: And this one is the classic Dancing Queen from seventy four.
• 20:00

  Speaker 9: Lisa if they're too big, what small fixes?
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: I see? So that's coasty. That's quite handful. If you've

  Speaker 3: got twenty one dancers, how many if you go to
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: a competition, how many dancers do you take with you?
• 23:26
  Speaker 8: How many? So we would take between five and eight dancers,
• 23:33
  Speaker 8: and then we take probably about thirty dances per competition. Wow,
• 23:41
  Speaker 8: there's quite a lot. But I have the lovely Lisa,
• 23:44
  Speaker 8: who is like my savior.
• 23:47
  Speaker 5: You need calm down.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you need people like Lisa Lisa.

• 24:14
  Speaker 8: puts all the bits and bobs up.

• 25:16
  Speaker 8: like progress sheets for all my dancers so that they
• 25:20
  Speaker 8: can see exactly what they have accomplished. This year ran
• 25:24
  Speaker 8: slightly differently, so we had the evening started with like
• 25:30
  Speaker 8: a long kind of like performance session, So each class
• 25:33
  Speaker 8: did a performance. Some of them did two, some of
• 25:36

  Speaker 3: Actually, cursely on that point that these your your young
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: students are growing and I mean and they're training if
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: you like people say to me, is dance a sport, Well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: it's a sport in a way, because you know, you've
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: got to rehearse, you've got to practice, you've got to train,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: you've got to keep fit. Did the youngsters get many
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: injuries when they they.
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they can do.
• 30:36
  Speaker 8: They can get normally, it's like like muscle fatigue more
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: than like an injury injury, or just where they're tired
• 30:44
  Speaker 8: or overworking.
• 30:45
  Speaker 5: You do get that.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: Or dancer that might have a more severe injury where
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: something's happening in dance and they've fallen really awkwardly. By
• 30:55
  Speaker 8: the ways, advise them just to still come even if
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: they are injured, because they can watch and you learn
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: quite a lot from watching your peers dance. But we're
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: very lucky we've not had many injuries as of yet.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: So touch would that that stays the same.
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, so well I think we're gonna wrap it
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: up now, So hang on, we're getting some sign language.
• 31:23
  Speaker 10: Yes, sorry, I've just got a really really quick question
• 31:25
  Speaker 10: to ask. As Kevin knows, I used to run do
• 31:28
  Speaker 10: triathlons and all that sort of thing. You wouldn't think
• 31:30
  Speaker 10: that anymore I look more like a Buddha. But do
• 31:33
  Speaker 10: you warm up before you dance?
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: Yes?
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: So what do you do it like a routine and
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: get everything warm down?
• 31:38
  Speaker 8: So we have like I have like a set warm
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: up routine that we do in class, but sometimes I'll
• 31:44
  Speaker 8: mix up so we're all about like building cardio. Then
• 31:49
  Speaker 8: there'll be like a time where we do like stretch
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: your mobilization. So they're like the key imp of things
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: that help like reduce that injury.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that. I didn't know somebody else.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Now. No, it's a good point actually, because whatever sport
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: you do, you's got to be a gred. You can't
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: go straight into it because that's the time you will
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: get injured. Okay, so flow and blossom. I think we'll
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: have the last couple of words from you, So a flow.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: Now you say you're not really a tech dancer. So
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: what sort of dancing do you do? What do you
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: call it?
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: Like contemporary, jazz, lyrical?
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: What is contemporary?
• 32:28
  Speaker 9: So contemporary is like I don't know how to explain it.
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: It's where you like combine all the styles, isn't it?
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: So contemporary has your lyrical and your jazz elements combined
• 32:42
  Speaker 8: into a confusion style really, so it's not like just
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: a set style. It has a mixture of everything into it,
• 32:50
  Speaker 8: and it's mostly to like normally tell a story or
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: to like put something across.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: A right, So okay, thank you and Blossom, what about you?
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: What's your favorite dance sort of style of dance?
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: Lyrical, contemporary, lyrical?
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: So okay, with the help of Kirsty. Because we're not dancers,
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: we don't know what is lyrical.
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: So lyrical is like it's similar to contemporary, but it's
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: more pretty and like fluids.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: And so okay, right now, I've seen, to be fair,
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I'm friends with you guys on social media, and I've
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: seen you popping up all the time winning competitions, and
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: I must say that I don't know much about dance,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: but you two are really on the road to something special,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: I would say, And I want to thank you for

  Speaker 1: to come in and they got such a passion for
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: what they do and it certainly shows. And we'll stick
• 35:15

  Speaker 1: called Believe it or Not, Come Dancing.
• 35:51

  Speaker 3: they've been in and they had such a good fund morning.
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: They couldn't stop laughing. Good day.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: No, once they got the giggles, that was it. It
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: was quite funny. But you know, it's nice to have
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: add the kids in and yeah, as I said earlier on,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: they got such a passion for Yeah.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: Well i'll tell you what I didn't know about your
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: daughter actually, And it's nice to know that you've got
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: that sort of connection as well, so you can relate, So.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, definite, yeah, yes, especially when they you know, especially
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: that record the Footloots. Yeah, when she did the whole school,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: there must have been about thirty or forty of them,
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: again mixed ages, and they did a dance two Footloas
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: at the Royal al but Hall. And you know, as
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: a dad, you're you're so proud of your daughter on
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the stage at the Royal Albert Hall.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: It was also did saddle as wells.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: But yeah, and she and I say, she's gone on
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: to make it a career and it was her passion
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: from the age of five.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: Right, I don't know that that's that's brilliant.
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: When she was saying about her feet, I could really
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: relate to that because she used to do a lot
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: of ballet and she used to have to blocks in
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: her shoes and her feet now are just wrecked, you do,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, but yeah, she loved it and she still
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: does and still does. I'm sure it will be a
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: new daughter when she'll be doing all that as well.
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: Normally passes down from generations. Yeah, she's really good.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: We've got three minutes left, CAFs.
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: Okay, so what should we talk about? A bit about football.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: I suppose, I suppose that's a big game on today, Isn't.
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: There there certainly is.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I mean last weekend though, Top versus second Folksing Victor
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: versus Brentwood Town, Brentwood came, came for a drawer, they
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: nearly got it, and we hit the barbie at the post,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: near missus offside goals, had everything and in the end
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: we went it with a penalty clear cup penalty. No
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: one can say that what one dal we won. So
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: we are now what nine points clear with two games
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: in hand, and last night's results went our way Aveley
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: drop points and so did Craig Wandra. So you know,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: our nearest oppositions are sort of falling away, which is
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: really good, and we're carrying on and today we've got
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: fifth place Dartford away. If you're not going to Dartford
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: and you do want to listen to the game, obviously
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: tune into Seasiders Radio and listen for the full Munch commentary,
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: which you can do on social media. Just click on
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: the button and you'll get me and Charlie doing the
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: doing the commentary of this afternoon.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: I think this afternoon though, I think positions in the
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: league might go out the window, especially when it's a
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Kent derby, don't you think.
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, most definitely.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I mean to be fair, I mean, Dartford have had
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: the better of us for the last twenty odd years,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: so we don't really do very well against them. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: remember the Kent Senior Cup final a couple of years
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: ago when we got murdered six free something like that,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: and they were definitely the team, you know, ten times
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: better than us. But now we're more on a level
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: playing field and we are the top team. Now we
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: are top of the league and we are playing like
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say champions, but we.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Are certainly playing a lot the top of the league.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: And of course everybody that comes up against the top
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: of the league team and even even no matter what
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: level it is, yep, they tend to raise their game.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: Of course, they know that we've got a tough game,
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: we've got top of the league, want to be great
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: to beat them, and I hope it's not a banana
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: skin today, but it's.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Gonna be tough.
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: I'll take a point now, yeah, yeah, but you know,
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to be champions, these are
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: the games you really want to be taking points away
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: from a point today won't be a bad result. I
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: don't think Dartford are very good side. They had a
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: slow start, as I said, the fifth. I think the
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: fifth in the league might have changed with the results
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: last night. But yeah, they're doing quite well. They're chasing
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: the playoffs and they'd definitely be chasing us down towards
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: the end of the end of the Sea.
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: And we've got an old folks Tonian up there. Roland
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: Edgy is up there.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Edge is there. We've got a couple of
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: exed players. The Henley the goalkeeper from last season. He's
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: the goal there and Dan Smith is also center.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Forward for him.
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: So yeah, those two wore the black and amber last
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: season for Folks in Victor. That's of course that they're
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: still there. I know they were at the start.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: Of the season.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: I haven't checked up on that yet. I should have
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: probably done that for my homework. But anyway, at times
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: beating us again.
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: It's been such a good morning and at least we've
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: got a bit of sporting. We didn't the name of
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: the show, yeah, the Adrian and Kevin Dance Show. I
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: don't think it really suits. No, we won't be doing that,
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: but i'll be back Thursday. This weekend i am off
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: to South End. I've got a race to compare down there,
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: over seven hundred runners, all dressed up as Father Christmas
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: and Elves, so I'll be looking forward to that. And Adrian,
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: you'll be off to Dartford.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: After Dartford and then in the evening I'm off to
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: see Bad Manners Bad Man Still.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Radio Folkston dot Com. Don your smart speaker
