Last Saturday

Riley and Emilee both take dance classes. Between the two of them, I do something dance related six days a week. Last Saturday I took them to a day long hip hop festival. Riley was pretty reluctant. I told her it was just something to try, and have fun with. The instructors who came into town for the festival, dance for music celebrities like Beyonce.  That got her interest a little.

She was fine, but not very enthused through the day. I wondered if the whole dance thing was just not right for her.....

Riley perked up when they danced with the young man who plays the green power ranger on the tv show.  You can see him a little up in the front.  The kids really responded to him.  Okay, practically every female in the building responded to him.  There were people hanging in the doorways, and cameras flashing more than any other time in the day during this little dance. 

I thought the day was fun, and Emilee really liked it.  Riley informed me she just does not like hip hop.  I understand. 

Here is Emilee after the night performance....she had a really fun day and evening, but she was exhausted.

So, this week I popped into Riley's tap class.  I wanted to see if she appeared unhappy in class, like she did in the festival.  I was glad to see that she was enjoying herself, and performing correctly.  I will just have to pay attention to her preference next time.  (I don't think she will go to the festival again, even if it means she will have to miss that power ranger guy.)
