In a Flap

Episode 5: Decade Serenade

Guest: Andrew Carruthers

‘In a Flap’ : Rhythm Tap Student Stories is a series hosted by Lexi Bradburn, teacher at Morley College Waterloo and beyond. In running eighteen Rhythm Tap-dance courses a term across four levels, Lexi has a steady stream of delightful and diverse students tapping at her door! This podcast is here to take a moment to get to know some of her students outside the busy schedule of their tap classes together. Inviting a new student each episode – Lexi wants to find out who her students are, what they do outside of class, why they come to tap and what makes them tick.

Lexi introduces Andrew Carruthers in our fifth episode – retired Litigation Solicitor and rhythm-tap-class-taker of nearly ten years. He shares his love of the classics – Fred Astaire, choir concerts at the Royal Albert Hall and the pirouetting prowess of Marika Rökk. And with some strong opinions about pop music, we estimate Andrew has some more learning to do yet!
