Can’t remember if that was the name of a Penguin or Fred Astaire movie, but nonetheless, that’s what this is about. Can’t remember how many years I have passed or heard about that dance studio called “Sherrie’s”<\/a>. Can’t even remember if before getting involved in home schooling that I even knew anyone who was taking lessons.<\/p>\n

Besides, there weren’t any little girls in my household, so who would have known.<\/p>\n

We got invited to the annual “Show” put on by Sherrie’s. Several adults in our homeschool group were involved as students or moms, and so “we were going”. I knew the moms were taking tap dance lessons, so most thoughts of dancers in tutus were pushed to the back of my mind – but still…<\/p>\n

Was I ever blown away by a multitude of things that had never occurred to me. For openers, there were a lot of women (read over 21) taking all kinds of dance lessons – tap, Hawaiian, Flamenco to name a few. Then there were the gazillion (couldn’t count) girls and boys of all ages who were taking dance lessons. No ballet here!<\/p>\n

What an awesome production, with show number after show number. This was a real show, that went off like clockwork. Little kids – big kids – adults, all doing their parts. Even amazed that so many dancers could remember their steps in so many different numbers. Not like dancing on the dance floor – this is choreography – multiple steps and moves – positions on the stage. I would have been lost after the first ten steps (nevermind the out of breath syndrome just to keep up).<\/p>\n

It was so good, that probably next year, I’ll be looking for tickets just so I can see all those people exercising their right to expend energy. My congratulations to all those I knew who were in the show, and thanks for showing me that a dance studio is more than pirouettes and tutus. You guys were fantastic. Thanks for the invite, and thanks for giving me a new perspective on dance studios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
