Black Harris #154 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 When I was a bit younger I was an actor on TV and Motion Pictures, I was very lucky! I used to watch Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly dance and thought how cool that would be, but I never took a dance class. I even met Gene Kelly on the set of Inherit the Wind, I did work on that movie. Well, I have been preforming in CHOC (Children's Hospital of Orange County) Follies for the last few years. A two act musical is written for 100 of us and we rehearse for 3 months. Singing, acting and dancing we have raised over $6,000,000.00 in the last 16 years for CHOC. Well the only part of the production I have not participated in was the Tap Dancing. Well, at 66 I am taking Tap Dancing Lessons! What a hoot, I should have done this years ago! BH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I always wished I could dance but I'm as graceful as a cow jumping off a rock. Good for you BH, and I'd pay to see that musical. How local is it to Ontario? (The one in California, not Oregon or Canada.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision was most likely, you couldn't handle that much good culture at once. ;^) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
