Do you have a few minutes? good. You're going to need them.
One of our family's VERY favorite activities is dancing together. Although I'm a perfect critic while watching the BEST show on tv, my dancing is sub-par at best. Let's just say that if you happen to have a hidden camera going during one of our family jam sessions you could make a lot of money from blackmailing us---oh, its pretty bad alright. But, its really fun and downright hilarious. It all started when Eden was a baby and Joel put on Elvis' You Aint Nothin But a Hound Dog and she would kick, smile and giggle while he danced. From there its gone through all sorts of music; recently Eden and Ruby have found a love for old Michael Jackson. Right now THIS is what you might catch us cuttin' a rug to on a Saturday Morning before we start cleaning. (go on, listen to it--its so catchy!)
Part Two--my review
You think this pose looks dramatic?
well, it should. Their feet were great, their lines superb, their connection with the audience was sensational! I wish Ruby would have given me a little more, but what she lacked in technique, she made up for in personality. Eden, you made that lift look EFFORTLESS! You know what I hear chuggin down the tracks???
Now, I'm not usually a fan of all the ballroom dances, but this one was FANTASTIC!!!! Probably my favorite of its kind--ever! Its also the dance that Ruby and Eden saw that made them want to try it out for themselves.
Okay, these aint the best shots--lets just finish up with my last few favorites of the season. (Jena and Ashley, this is especially for you since you missed the whole darn thing!) In no particular order these were the best (all contemporary, go figure!)The Addiction dance--(Kapono and Kayla)--it just hurts to watch
The Heart on a Chain dance with Jeanine and Jason
Mia Michaels girls finale dance-- with Kayla and Jeanine
the Vampire dance-- Kapono and Kayla (with the exception of the reach at the end--actually, it really ISN'T one of the best, but it was good)
to sum it up . . . family jam-outs, Spaceman, hot tamale train, Twilight, new-found-free-time on Wed/Thurs nights, and lots O' links. enjoy!
