5 & 1/2 weeks till ballet concert, YES you heard me right Ballet concert.
Our 14yr old daughter has her annual ballet concert early December, and it is the mums turn to do a dance. Each year the studio either gets the dads to dance or the mums.
Last year the dad's danced to "It's raining men" ( i know, how original) the year before that us mums did HAIRSPRAY.
Our dance this year is the Glee version of "LET'S GET PHYSICAL"
There are 15 mums doing the dance and Mr Martin, one of the teachers at the studio is our choreographer . It is so funny. He is married to a ballerina who dances with the QLD Ballet and this is his first year with doing a mums dance. We are loud and crazy (as there wouldnt be any shy mums doing the dance) and we want him to be in the dance in his red speedos (just like the film clip) and we all dance around him.
Well that is of course not happening but we still try each week to change the dance.
We have practice every Saturday at 4 - 5pm. We take turns in who brings the wine and we learn about 20 seconds of the dance each week (well we cant remember much more than that at one time). So we have been practicing for almost 4 weeks now and we have learnt about 1min of a 4 min dance.
So much improvising will be done on the night.
We are to all wear fluro or black tights, coloured leotards or shorts, leg warmers, sweat bands etc.....
and of course we will all look like Olivia did.
So i am off to eat more lettuce as OMG i need too!

ReplyDeleteHi Pen,

I found some of my old jazzercise aerobic leotards (flashback lol) If they haven't already been sent to the Vinnies bin, I could post them up for you and the other Mum's!
Have a great day.
