The Silver Taps

'DON'T STOP DANCING BECAUSE YOU ARE GETTING OLD -
YOU ONLY GET OLD IF YOU STOP DANCING'

And so it is with the Silver Taps…

 

The Silver Taps have something in common apart from their unconditional love of tap dancing – it is their age.  With an average age of 60+ The Silver Taps perform, create, and choreograph, with an amazing amount of energy and a whole lot of fun.

They design and sew their own costumes, choreograph their own routines, and in between performances still manage to squeeze in time for their grandchildren, and their work commitments.

The Silver Taps appeared on National Television in a George Negus New Dimensions documentary ‘Ties that bind’ in August 2003 which explored the uniqueness and quintessential elements of their tap dancing troupe. That particular program inspired many seniors to take up dancing in one form or another and proved that ‘you’re never too old to give dance a go!’

The Silver Taps are based in Perth, Western Australia.
