LYNDON - Every Wednesday afternoon, a small group of people gather to work on techniques as a part of "Dance Images by Heidi."

Heidi Broome started instructing dance classes in 1989, using her feet to "tap" to the beat of the music.

"It's a coordination thing, it's your mind telling your feet what to do," said Broome.

Broome strives to keep the tap dancing fun. She says the class is more of a place to be social while getting exercise.

"You're moving your legs a lot... and depending on your level of tap, it can either be just a very casual exercise or it can be an extreme cardio exercise," said Broome.

The beginner level class is geared towards adults who are finishing up school or work for the day. Broome has been tap dancing since she was a young girl, but for her students that haven't, they now have the opportunity.

"It's something I always wanted to try since I was a kid... so when I heard there was an adult beginner class, it sounded really interesting to me," said student, Mandy Violette.

"Dance Images by Heidi take place every Wednesday afternoon at the Lyndon Grange Hall.
