OK so here is what happened at Maddi's dance class today. There is 2 boys in Maddi's class. One boy is named Joshua - a sweet boy who actually seems like he wants to be there. He listens to everything the teacher says. Then there is Jamie -- a boy who does not want to be there, he is always doing the opposite of what the teacher ask. At least 2 or 3 times she has to go to him and tell him to start doing what everybody else is doing. It is very annoying, And I'm not the only parent who complains about him. I didn't invite him to Mad's party, I just didn't want him there to ruin it. I know that sounds bad but The mom who had the party the day after Mad's didn't invite him either. He is that bad!! So we had to be kinda sneaky with the invites. Now that you have the back story. So they had there recital last Saturday. Today is a fun class day, they got to perform there routine one more time, then we had a party. I asked his Mom If she was going to put him in Dance in the fall when he is in Kindergarten. Here is how it went down.
Me -- Are you gonna put Jamie in Dance in the fall
Her -- I don't know , If he wants to.
Me -- oh ok
Her -- He just really loves it.
Me -- um yeah
Her -- If I hear one more parent say I should have Jamie in gymnastics every time I mention he is in Dance , I'm gonna scream.
ME -- " i'm thinking they prolly know how your kid is" I said Gymnastics is great , Maddi loves it. It is so active It's completely different she is constantly moving. Cartwheels, front rolls, back rolls, jumps, trampoline, etc...
Her -- I don't think Gymnastics is anymore physical than ballet and tap! Gymnastics is unnatural -- when will you see someone doing a back flip in a club.
Me -- I'm thinking "Are you freakin kidding me" but I said when you think about it when are you going to see someone doing an Arabesque in a club.
Her -- (sounding really irritated) Jamie is in Dance because I want him in Dance!!
Me -- SPEECHLESS --- I couldn't even speak because I was like aha She wants Jamie in Dance. I wondered if that was the first time she admitted that out loud.
I have nothing against boys dancing, Ballet wouldn't be the same with no males. But come on if your boy is always sitting and rolling on the floor when everybody else is in 1st position. Get a freaking clue, Hello!!?!! whew that was a long one. I'm sure the spring semester will hold lots more stories. Or Maybe we will get lucky and she will put him in GYMNASTICS. I can dream can't I? I'm outie
