Further Research
Home with a cold today. Didn't sleep well at all through the night, but made up for it this morning. Finally got up about 1:00, and after a shower and shave, I call the dance school about this tap class.
I ask about the shoes, since they could be the showstopper if they cost too much. Turns out there are several options:
1. Full blown bonafide tap shoes - about $400 - *eep*
2. Maybe find some used - about $70 - bet the market for used men's tap shoes is non-existent.
3. Just buy some shoes and have the taps put on. Taps are about $15 a set, but the shoes have to be able to take them. Now we're talking. (She said one of the dance company's members buys Adidas and has taps put on)
4. Just buy some shoes with a hard leather sole. For the first few lessons, that's all that's needed. - I'm in!
She said they have to have never been used outside, and they have to be scrupulously clean on the bottom. In other words, like new.
The barriers just fall away, until there's nothing left but my willingness to take a deep breath and just try it.
I'm gettin goosebumps
