They two had six classes to learn and practice the dance.

Jamie Jones/Facebook:

I posted a small clip of this yesterday and so many loved it I decided to share the entire dance. This is my 10 year old daughter Maeve tapping with her 72 year old (yes amazing) Grandfather ( My father-in-law). Maeve asked her Gramps to enter a tap duo in her summer recital. After only 6 classes to learn and practice (choreographed by Elyse Williamson of From The Top Dance Center) this is their recital performance.
