Tapping to fame

The American Irish Gardiner Brothers aren't the only male dancers who can tap very well. Check out these guys. Oh gosh, I just added forty lines of raw computer code. Will this work? It doesn't look like it to me. Try this, https://www.instagram.com/reel/C0mx2uLg527/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Aren't they just so talented. The last performer ain't half hot.

    They are indeed talented. Years back I can remember seeing our own Tap Dogs. And drooling. Rather a lot.

      River, with Insta the sound is off by default, so on the right at the bottom you can unmute.

    I do love some good tap dancing. I was looking at the Gardiner Brothers Christmas clip yesterday but couldn't work out how to get it on to my blog. It wasn't youtube so I was stumped. I need to learn how to post 40 lines of code.

      I've tried many Merlot, but I find this one best downloader, pastedownload.com I was going to delete the code from my post as the link works fine, but I'll just keep it there for my own amusement.
