These ladies have been tapping their way through the Coeur d’Alene community to help local women and children since 2004.
The Lake City Senior Tappers, a dance troupe based at the Lake City Center, range in age from 65 to 81.
The tappers perform throughout the year at community events like the Festival of Trees, North Idaho State Fair; conventions held locally; and at assisted living facilities.
Their motto is “dancing for charity.” They accept donations and share them with local women and children’s charities.
The Lake City Tappers will perform this week on the opening day of the North Idaho State Fair.
The tappers will appear Wednesday, Aug. 22, at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Location B, the dance floor, at the Kootenai County Fairgrounds. They will dance to music from “Mama Mia!” and “The Lion King” musicals. They’ll be joined by Robin Davis’ line dance group and local vocalist Maryann Taibi.
