The Fillmore Ebell Club will be entertained this month by The Razzmatappers, a tap dance troupe, at the Veterans Memorial building on March 23, 2010.

Formed in 1998, this lively troupe of seniors perform for charitable organizations and events, clubs, fairs, retirement and nursing homes and private events. The Razzmatappers' repertoire includes upbeat tap routines using their favorite music from Broadway shows, the 30's, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s and 70’s.

Their members include performers who have appeared on Broadway, TV, variety acts and dance competitions. Some have owned dance studios and have been instrumental in developing many of the fine performers active in the dance world today. Others started dancing later in life, but all share their love of dance and performing.

In July 2000, 6 members of the Troupe traveled to Las Vegas to compete in the North American Tap Dance Festival. Their routine to “Green Eyes” won them 1st Place and a Gold Medal in the Senior Category, and Choreographer Lee Olsen won 2nd Place over all the other competitors for her choreography.

The Troupe rehearses 3 times a week at California Dance Theater in Agoura, and can be reached at 805 381-9080 or 805 376-0153, for more information, or to arrange for a performance.

Anyone interested in more information, or becoming a member of the Fillmore Ebell Club, may call Trisha Armstrong at 727-1901.
