Nuala Woulfe goes on the joy diet

THE New Year diet is going well, but I’m not starving myself or sweating it out at the gym. This year I’m on the Joy Diet, it’s the new meditation and it’s going brilliantly, especially since learning tap dance appeared on the menu.
Since the age of four I’ve envied Shirley Temple, the Billie Barry kids on the Toy Show and the wonderful Maureen Potter for their tap dance abilities. Tap was a childhood dream, but when I was a kid there were no classes nearby and later on I found adult classes impossible to find, but I never gave up on my deep yearning for something I’d never tried.
