Update

Man, I haven’t posted in awhile. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of exciting things happening. First of all, I just wanna give a quick mention that this weekend is the opening weekend of that most fabulous movie, “Star Trek.” Y’all go see it. I hear it’s a celestial wonder.

Okay, for a dance update:

• Science Boy is continuing his twice-weekly ballet classes. I don’t really see any improvement on his part as far as posture or grace or rhythm, but then again I attribute that to the fact that he is a boy, and for boys, I hear coordination with these things come later. Right? His gymnastics however is improving by leaps and bounds. If the kid can walk down the sidewalk on his hands he’d do it. Great cartwheels, great handstands. Which is why I’ve taken him out of one of his ballet classes and enrolled him in…BREAKDANCING! He’s gonna love this.
• Ballerina Girl has a recital coming up in June. I’m a little amused and weirded out by the fact that both my kids exhibit traditional boy/girl behavior, meaning SB is good at math and science, likes to build buildings and blow things up, and has no grace to speak of, while OTOH BG likes pink, tea parties, tutus, princesses, loves to dance, has great coordination and can follow instructions really well. Which means she is doing very, very well in her dance classes, so much so that she’s smack in the middle of their formation for recital and the other girls look to her for choreography cues. Makes me proud. **sniff**

Because of all these kid activities, I’ve unfortunately had to suspend going to dance classes on the weekend, which means Advanced Latin Jazz on Tuesdays, Kickboxing on Wednesdays (the class I teach), and ballet on Thursday and Friday. I’d rather not go to ballet on Friday but I don’t want to have just one class a week. So off I go tonight before going to Star Trek.

Aaaah…the weekend is finally here. Enjoy the brief sunshine and have a great weekend!
