Dad's dance



Each year during the Extravaganza there is one dance that
is a hit. This dance is the one some people pay to see.
Which dance you may wonder? The Dad's Dance of course.
There is just something about seeing guys doing high kicks
and dance moves that brings down the house. Of course it is
rather sweet to see dad's dancing with their daughters, but
don't fool yourself the audience isn't there to see sentimental,
they want kicks, high kicks, cancan's, sunshine kicks, flutter kicks
simply put kicks numerous kicks. In previous years the number
of kicks has varied, one year none at all. Big disappointment.
In the past I'm sure there has been bribes by certain mom's
to ensure that kicks would be a part of the routine. Bribe is such a
strong word tho, I prefer to think of it as suggesting :)
This year a group of girls were practicing at our house, when
they began discussing the Dad's dance, "you know" I said, "people
want to see kicks you should try to put a lot of those in the routine."
One girl said "but they suck at kicks, most can't do it" my reply?
"that's why people like it, the more awful they look the happier the
audience will be" This year's dance I am happy to say had a lot
of kicks. Just a note no money changed hands. One year when
Beckie was on the team the girls thought perhaps there should be a
mom's dance, that year money did exchange hands, and not just in my
household. There was no mom's dance performed due to lack of interest.
