Virna spent her childhood watching Shirley Temple movies with her grandma and dreaming of taking tap dancing classes. While there is no tap dancing in Peru and Virna didn’t own tap shoes, she improvised and made her own by taping bottle caps to the soles of her shoes. Today, Virna’s dream has come true. She currently takes Tap Dancing classes as an adult!
