Sophistication will break out in Katherine when the Academy of Tap Dancing throws open its doors. Chief Minister Paul Henderson will launch the centre next month in a bid to make Katherine residents feel happy , funky and loved by the NT Government.
No expense has been spared by the CM , a renowned tap dancer himself , as well as a certified U-bend mender. Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers have been hired to teach local yokels how to do the soft shoe shuffle down the main road to the public conveniences while the town band , conducted by Les MacFarlane , plays the Bombay Belly Waltz .
June Tapp wishes to make it known that the academy has not been named after her. “ There are two Ps in my name, not one,” she told Little Darwin’s Ballroom Dancing Reporter, "Stumbles " Mercurio, while doing her early morning rhumba exercises. Katherine residents are eager to sign up for a tap dancing course as they do a lot of singing in the rain dance routines after a night out on the town.
