Meet the Tap Dancers From Shirley Temple Square
from City Cast Salt Lake · host City Cast
When dance instructor Kim Luke moved to Salt Lake, she realized tap dancing just wasn’t really a thing here. So to revive this dying art form, she started a tap class for adults that’s become hugely popular — especially among older adults. They call themselves “The Salt Water Tappies … all the way from Shirley Temple Square.” Emily Means visited (and took!) the class. She talked with Kim about her journey as a dance teacher and why this class resonates with so many people. We also talked with two dancers who have been with the group for years. Find out more about the Salt Water Tappies and how to register for a class here. And here's where you can find a cooling center in SLC. Subscribe to our daily morning newsletter here.
