Tap & Greet, (dis)Abled People

Tap & Greet is the unit of tap dancer and crowns, who are so-called disabled people.
Mr. Shirai, who teaches how to be SHIMIN CROWN of DAIDOGEI World Cup in Shizuoka, is the leader of Tap & Greet. The corwns are from "KAGAYAKI KOBE," which is the institution of the disable.
Since they don't feel embarrassed performing as corwns so much, they can be better crowns than ordinally people, says Mr. Shirai.
You will know, if you join their show, that they are really good trained, and that they are totally fanny!
So, I, Shige, want to call them Abled people, not disabled people.
