Time to Tap is back for 2024 and it’s better than ever!
30 years on from Roy’s Tour of Hope, and unfortunately his passing, we’ll be paying tribute to him while providing more people the chance to learn and expand their knowledge of tap dancing.

The routines
The first will be a routine perfect for beginners, and the second will be a slightly more advanced routine – for those looking for a bit more of a challenge! Don’t worry if you have two left feet or you’re a trained dancer, our routines will be suitable for all abilities and you’ll have access to the tutorials shortly after you register.
Once you’ve mastered your chosen routine, we’ll come together virtually on Sunday 19th May at 12pm for a performance Roy would be proud of!
Your instructor Jo and Jess from Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation will go LIVE on our Time to Tap Facebook group using Zoom for the performance.
Whilst learning and tapping together you’ll be helping to raise funds to create a brighter future for all those affected by lung cancer.
Please note: our fundraising deadline is May 9th to allow for your t-shirt to be delivered promptly before the live performance!
Shortly after registering, our team will email and support you as you practice, prepare and fundraise for our performance on 19th May 2024. Then a few days before the performance, we will send you the all-important Zoom details for you to join Jo LIVE!
Our charity was named after one of the UK’s most iconic tap dancers – Roy Castle OBE. We love nothing more than continuing Roy’s legacy and inspiring the nation to tap their way to raising money to help all those affected by lung cancer.
Last years Time to Tap raised over £16,000 and this year we’re hoping to raise even more, so don’t delay and sign up today – the earlier you sign up the more time you have to practice and smash your fundraising target!
What’s the best way to fundraise?
Tell everyone what you are doing and why, and be confident that you are doing something incredible! Friends, colleagues, and family will want to support you and be updated on your progress, and we offer lots of support throughout the challenge to help you reach your fundraising target. There are lots of different ways you can fundraise, click one of the buttons below to get started.
Best of all, we want to invite you to our Time to Tap Facebook community to share your progress, support and encourage others with a passion for dance and receive tips, tricks, and updates from our Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation team.
