Two fifty-something-year-old women, slightly overweight, sign up for tap-dancing lessons. Their young teacher informs them there will be a recital after their tenth lesson at a banquet hall in a suburb near their homes. I think she was trying to scare them away, but she had the wrong girls.

 The teacher asks if they’ve ever had dancing lessons. Anne replies that she took ballet forty-two years ago — had always wanted tap, but her mother wanted ballet. Kara says her mother refused to buy her tap shoes when she was nine.

Anne spends her birthday money on shoes and lessons. Kara borrows tap shoes from her niece who is in local show biz. An attendance problem arises. They don’t have enough people to run the class, but the phone message is confused and they are told that their Lamaze classes have been cancelled.
