Yes they are. I took tap for a few years. Pretty sure I was the only guy in the class. I think this was for the 4th, 1976. I have some other pics of at the deal and I was the center point being Uncle Sam with a dozen girls on each side. 45 years later I still talk to a few of them on monthly basis. One of them owns a dance studio and she mentions it every so often. Was a golden girl at LSU. Part of the being abused as a child, apparently they did not make hats anywhere near my size. Hard to tell in that pic, I was 5 and probably 25 pounds underweight at the time.
You think about this crap often when you feel like you are on deaths door.
