Dance Recital?


A few weeks ago when my son's school schedule came out for the month, we noticed a dance recital was planned for the end of January. What could that be we wondered? Not once did Pete ever mention he was dancing.

The day came and Deb and I go off to school where we met up with a number of other parents. The teachers move us into the gym, where we see the kids.

The show begins by them doing a number of exercises to limber up. Okay I thought this is going to be a glorified PT class set to music. But nope. Once they finish stretching they line up ala chorus line and the music begins. But before that the dance instructor lets us know that this is a dance routine from Christmas that the kids did for the rest f the school. Rather than coming up with a new routine, she felt it easier for them to dance the Christmas dance.


They do 3 routines and each time a new line takes the front so I guess all the parents have a good shot of their kid in the front row. Finally once the dancing was over they all went thru a gymnastics routine where they bounce on a trampoline then a few tumbles, and finally a gallop around the gym. It all ends up with them saying goodbye to us and then lining up and back to the classroom. All in all it was pretty cute. enjoy the pics -
