Nico Rubio (@chitappin) checks in from his Chicago quarantine. He talks about how Dianne "Lady Di" Walker convinced him to start tap dancing, and about when Dr. Prince Spencer offered him a banana. Find Nico at shuffleliiife.com and his new podcast “The Real Talk Tap Talks” is available now on Apple Podcasts, Anchor, and Spotify.

Please visit Anchor.fm/HaveTapShoesWillTravel/message and record a check-in voicemail message using your phone to tell us about how you are doing. We’d love to hear how tap dancing is helping you get through it.

Remember everyone, stay creative. We will get through this and I'm looking forward to the jams we're going to have on the other side.

We also welcome your tap dance-related book recommendations and movie suggestions.
