Welcome to my blog about about dance! 21/5/14
Today I will be discussing the oldest tap dancer! She is the one and only Hylda Walker and she is 80 years old. Amazingly she has been dancing for 72 years and she has never missed a step, forgot a step or missed a class. Hylda was born and raised in Salford in 1933. In all her time you could imagine she has met a few celebrities, Hylda has brushed shoulders with Tommy Cooper. If you are wondering who Tommy Cooper is, he's a comedian but he sadly died. He went on stage feeling queasy then he stared falling to floor but people thought it was part of the act but I think he had a heart attack. i have a DVD of him. Hylda was very passionate about tap because she quotes " Whiles every old person is sits around watching TV I am prancing about In my tap shoes! I think she is amazing!
