As we mentioned earlier, we've spent this past week getting ready for our big tap dancing performance this weekend. We bought outfits...and HATS...and picked out the music. And got together every day this week to plan and prepare and make a training video and polish our shoes and find counselors for the kids to combat this latest level of parental humiliation...and, in the midst of all of that, didn't practice at all. We got an email this morning saying you guys expect to see ball changes and buffalos and coffee grinders. WHUCK? Kate went to you tube to see what a coffee grinder even was, and fell down just watching the video. So, this is what you will be seeing. A lot of moves that make A LOT of sound and are technically not really dance steps at all, but rather what we imagine a buffalo would do with a coffee grinder when he needed a ball change. This is interpretive tap dance, y'all.
Sunday is going to be epic. You know how we know? Because this movie says so. When you train this hard, it's going to be awesome. Just like Rocky.
We'd like to thank the Academy...and of course, the great great Charlie Wilson. Without whom, this would look like just another bad home movie. And our families, who will be placing want ads on Monday for new moms. And finally, to the police. Thanks for not arresting us when we hit that Mercedes with our tap shoes...oops.
It's not very often that I feel the need to call my husband over to have a look at a video, and I found myself replaying it so my children could see what we were cackling about. You two are destined for big things. Trust. :)
Wow. What a Sat morning inspiration!!! I think you guys are going to KILL it - love the Tbox arm curls Lydia, super. Kate, the push up was just a little show-offy, I mean, running up the bleachers was awesome enough! I can not WAIT to see the video from Sunday's performance. ps - the cadbury eggs are PERFECT! Y'all ROCK!
Holy schneikies! What's awsomer? One handed egg cracking without squeezing them into mush? T-box curls? One armed push ups? Running to the top of the murtherfurking bleachers without going into cardiac arrest? *sigh* epic.
Hey - y'all throwing in a couple of time steps in your choreography? A single, double or even a triple time step - No? No worries - a lot of noise is good, just make sure you have whucktastic attitude! Bring it! (and have fun!)
