My little Dancing Queen
My daughter LOVES to dance! Lilah at 3 years old really responds to ‘the beat.’ Spurred on by the dance reality shows and a new wave of musical television shows she is responding with typical toddler energy. Our recent favorite – ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ on the Fox network – launches our routine of dancing with each other while the dancers perform. I started this as a distraction when I wanted to watch the show and she wanted to change the channel to ‘her show.’ Now she insists that I drop everything to lift and spin her or shake our ‘booties’ to the music. It’s really fun, and great exercise for me, but the focus is now on our performance rather than the great dancers on the show!
Lilah dancing so fast she is just a blur
On Wednesday night she decided that she wanted to watch ‘Glee’ (the antics of underdog high school kids struggling in glee club.) I must confess to giving in to her demands – since I enjoy the shows as well! They are filled with music, new and old, plenty of dancing and in the musical comedy Glee, a good lesson or two (although the themes are beyond her years, since it is a biting comedy.) Who knows…maybe she’ll end up dancing and singing on TV someday! Isn’t ‘Fame’ making a comeback?
