Chinese New Year

Morgans third grade class celebrated Chinese New Year today. It was a really fun program. One thing we noticed was that although Morgan tends to be a bit shy in daily life...all that flies out the window when you put her on stage. I know I should not brag...I really do..but look at the pictures where she is dancing..is that not pure joy? Notice that often the children would "follow" her, waiting for her to lead them into the next steps of the dance.

So You Think You Can Dance

At the kid's school today they had a "dance off" so to speak. Actually every grade danced a different genre. It was so fun! Morgan's dance genre was ballroom. The Lindy Hop to be specific. Here is where it gets funny!! Morgan had to dance with....gasp a BOY! She knows that is a problem....mostly because her father let's her know how she is way to young to be dancing with a boy!!! How funny is that? This fine boy is Josh and happens to be the son of my good friend Mishaun. They were partnered because they were both attentive and respectful during all the practices. Secretly I think it is because Josh is one of very few boys who are taller then Morgan! I just love these pictures!

Now on to Chad. He danced a Jazz number...and he was in the back row so I have no pictures....OK that's not true....see the plaid green shorts? That's my boy!! And let me tell you he does not have his sister's grace!

Dancing Queen

Morgan started the busy season of recitals and assemblies. This year she is dancing on the Company which means for much more dancing. These pictures are from her first of many performances. This particular number is danced to the song ABC by the Jackson Five.
