'Stepping Out' by Richard Harris

[Unfortunately now cancelled due to Covid-19]

Stepping Out has been described as the ultimate ‘feel good’ comedy. The story focuses on eight individuals from disparate backgrounds and with differing motivations who attend the same weekly tap dancing class in a dingy church hall. Although the students treat the classes as social occasions and show little co-ordination, Mavis their ex professional chorus girl teacher, enters the class to perform in a local charity gala.

As their relationships progress and their circumstances change Mavis tries her hardest to teach them to overcome their inhibitions and left feet.

But before the dancing begins Mavis must mediate the minor dramas that erupt among this motley but lovable crew.
