HR manager Cindy Belengoff (30) had a fleeting trip into the world of ‘what-if’ today as a thumbtack on the sole of her shoe provided her with a rare glimpse into the life of a tap dancer.

On her lunch break, Belengoff was heading to her usual cafe to order her usual no flavour, low-calorie chicken wrap, when she became aware of a metallic clicking sound emanating from her right foot as she walked.

Stopping to observe the cause of the noise, Belengoff was privately delighted to see a single gold thumbtack was stuck to the sole of her shoe, clicking it against the ground to achieve the desired effect synonymous with tap dancing.

“Cool,” Belengoff stated as she tapped her way to a zestier lunch destination.

“Sort of like being a tap dancer isn’t it?”

Tuning into some Michael Buble, Belengoff tapped her way through the Betoota Central Business District, making the occasional flourish as she stopped at a crossing and dodging a street pest with a stunning pirouette.

“Wow. Makes me wonder if I shouldn’t have given it a go.”

As Belengoff tapped carefree through the streets she was catcalled by an unknown man on a smoke break.

Usually, one to privately seeth about catcalls, Belengoff tapped her invigorated feet over to the man and kissed him passionately before stealing his cigarette and messing up his hair, leaving him confused and aroused as she tapped away.

During this time period, a woman matching Belengoff’s description allegedly entered a Betoota fine dining restaurant, ordered a rare rib eye and left without paying. Front of house staff report hearing a clicking sound as the unknown woman fled the scene.

Belengoff is unable to say where she was during the time the steak was stolen but assured reporters she returned to her workplace at 1:32 pm, after removing the thumbtack from her shoe and tossing it onto the street, ready to give another unsuspecting drone a peek into the mysterious life of a tap dancer.
