Tap dance lessons confused with lap dances

A 77-year-old woman who started offering tap dancing lessons says she has been bombarded by calls from men who misread her advert ... and are looking for lap dancers.

Helen Hart tried to give her business - teaching seniors tap dance skills - a boost by installing a sign on the side of her California home.

But the 'Adult Tap Dancing' sign has left her receiving up to 75 phone calls per month, mostly from men wanting a lap dance not tap dance lessons.

She says she can't understand men mixing up 'tap dance' and 'lap dance' but added that she has no intention of taking down her advert.

When she gets calls from men looking for a sexy dancer she tells them to bring their daughters over so she can teach them to tap dance, at which point most hang up ... some however think it is a 2-for-1 offer.
