Okay, so I'm really not all that coordinated but this tap dancing class is becoming my favorite thing! Yes, I look down at my feet while I dance (who wants to look in the mirror at what is staring back at me???)...yes, it takes me several tries to learn a new combo or riff. But...it's totally cool...not the tap dancing I was familiar with as a child (okay, even as an 18 yo...I actually took tap for PE credit in college!)...we are dancing to stuff like Lucinda Willams and Pink Martini. Nevermind that my teacher is 19. Yes...I said "19." I could easily be her mom. And my 3 yo is also taking tap (different school, different teacher). AND, my 80 yo mom...NO--she's not dancing...worse...she wants to come WATCH ME dance! There is something totally wrong about her wanting to watch me tap when 40 years ago she was watching me tap for the first time when I was 4 or 5. Just too weird for me to comprehend! (But I might let her come anyway!)
Anyway...I now can't wait until I have 15 min alone in the house to put on my capezios and some jazz and tap away. Paddle and rolls, cramp rolls, spanks, scuffs...it's a whole new world out there! :)
