East Rockingham Senior Center: Diane & Co. Had Toes Tappin’ at East Rock

AFP

Seven tap dancers from Diane and Company of Staunton offered a 30-minute energetic performance for 23 East Rock Senior Center members and 16 guests on Nov. 3.

This is the group’s second visit to the Center, and it was through a member of the dance troupe and former Ms. Virginia Senior America 2010, Linda Huntley (far right), that the initial contact was made.

The dancers, some of whom have been tap dancing for 30 years, provided a very entertaining morning for members and guests, as this is the only group of its type to ever perform at the Center.

We were fortunate that Diane Roberts (center), the director of the group, and husband Calvin, as well as Linda and her beautiful mother, Dot Farren, were able to stay for lunch.

Our guests were very complimentary of the dancers and appreciated being invited to this social activity.
