Tappin' Toes: Fred Astaire

It's time to tap your toes to one of the greats, Fred Astaire! On of our summer camps will spotlight Fred Astaire. His stage and film career spanned a total of 76 years and 31 musical films!

"Steppin out with my baby," one of the songs the camp will focus on, was sung by Fred Astaire and features him dancing with three different partners on a set of stairs.



"Puttin on the Ritz," another famous Fred Astaire number from the film with the same title, will be featured in our camp. The phrase means to dress fashionably and it was inspired by the swanky Ritz Hotel in London.
