Can an old dog learn new tricks?

Can an old dog learn new tricks? Well we will see as of April 28th. I have two 1/2 weeks to learn a big tap dance number for my show (Dames at Sea) I have never tapped in a show before. I had a few months of tap class and now here I am tapping with these young'ins. I am doing pretty good but still need lots of practice. I am so sore and tired everynight...but having a ball learning. So yes an old dog can learn new tricks...you just have to practice for HOURS and HOURS!
