Like I was going to go there anyway but he was like, you're probably going to have to learn how to –

do all right at this.

And so – but when the two worlds collided for me, the primary school I was at knew that I was tap dancing and I kind of didn't even think they said, we'd love you to do a routine for the school.

It was like, you know, 500 or 600 kids at the school.

And I'm like, oh, okay.

Oh, right, okay.

So I –

came to school and they set up this double classroom where the doors used to kind of bi-fold doors would open up and it turned into one really big room and it could fit the whole school in.

And I turned up with my tap shoes on and like a dance outfit that was like a, you know, lycra red with sequins.

It's the full show.

It's the full tap dance gear.

I obviously had a different body shape than I do now.

I wouldn't wear that now to look like a sock filled with mincemeat.

LAUGHTER

But back then I looked like a dancer.

I went out and did the routine and finished that and then walked into the toilets to get changed again back into my uniform.

And a guy called George who was without a doubt the toughest guy at the school who had his cronies all marched in.

And then I had that moment which was that, oh, man, this is when this is it.

This is that moment where I...

I've got to pay the bill for wanting to dance in the western suburbs.
