Meet the dancer still tapping at 80 who celebrated her birthday with a surprise reunion with her former students.

Kaye Thomas was “amazed and surprised” to see so many of her previous students at her dance studio for her birthday on October 6.

Kaye's daughter, Natalie Ettinghausen, 55, had arranged for 95 of the dancers to show up - equipped with their tap shoes.

In celebration, the teacher led a traditional tap lesson for her students - where they “laughed, caught up and reminisced” about their time together.

Powered by the slogan ‘80 and still tapping’, Kaye continues to teach - despite her age and two previous knee replacement surgeries.

By the end, Kaye described how her students were “more red, sweaty and bothered” than she was.
