|  Ok, I shared and taught this dance last night, but had a surprise pupil, my daughter.. She knew for 2 months that I was going to teach this dance, (which we both did 4 years ago, but I changed it to make it easier), and all along I have been practicing and inviting her to practice also if she would like to help me..
Well, it wasn’t until the beginning of this week, that she even said she was going. So, I asked quite a few more times if she would like to practice this dance, then I thought, well,maybe she no longer has an interest in dance, I won’t push it..On the way there last night, she even had plans to do some drawing, keeping to herself.. I thought that was fine, though in the back of my mind, I am nervous teaching this dance, all by myself.. (When I taught years ago, my daughter would help me, this would have been the first time I was on my own)
So, we get there and another person had a dance to share and my son shared this song..Then it was time for me and guess who was right there? Yep, my daughter.. Instead of relearning this dance at home, she was going to right there..lol. So we went through it, many were surprised at how fast paced it was, even though I warned them in the beginning, and it went really well..
But,it gets even better..
Then requests were coming in for different dances we used to do. We took a short break, so I left to take my son to the bathroom. I came back to people telling me, “We are going to do the Israeli Aerobics and it was my daughters idea” WHAT? She not only didn’t want to practice the dance I was teaching, but she requested a dance that, yeah, the name says it all, very aerobic style dance with many complicated steps… Now I have the choreography for all these dances, but not with me. So we guessed what to do, many times standing there wondering what to do next. Fortunately on one part, one of the other dancers came in to help, but before and after that, we were on our own, but we had so much fun..
We had so much fun, but I am thinking, next time, my daughter should share the “Israeli Aerobics” for changing her mind on me…lol
