Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Music and Dance Club Performance

The kids have practiced for weeks months in their after-school program to learn these dance routines and skits.  They have worked hard, practicing at school and home and absolutely LOVED every minute of it!

This is the one they worked on the longest --> Justin Bieber's "Baby, Baby" song.

Chloe had such a serious look on her face throughout the entire performance.

I think they really liked working with other kids as a team to pull of a synchronous performance, but also to trust each other in dance moves like this where they had to hold on to each other and move together to keep from falling on their backs.


There were so many moves to remember.....this was a looooong song!

Owen and his friend Matthew performed a comedy skit together and laughed hysterically throughout.

The boy loves to be at the center of attention when he can make people laugh.

He was pretending he couldn't hear the person at the other end and made the silliest faces.

This was at the end when each child got called to the front for bows and applause.  Of course he cartwheeled his way across the front of the stage.



You can even see the parents' reflections as they are smiling and clapping.  His cartwheels always go over well.





Chloe also recited a Shel Silverstein poem while wearing her clothes backwards and socks on her hands.  She did a great job! Not sure how the photographer didn't get that captured....she's so fired.

The kids wanted a photo with Ms. Brandie.  They love her to pieces and have asked if they can be a part of her Music and Dance team again next year, even thought they won't be going to after-school.

Dancing Machines

The kids are both all amped up over learning a dance routine to Justin Bieber's song Baby, Baby, Baby.  They had me download it to iTunes and were dancing to the song after coming home from Tae Kwon Do.

Dylan was wound up and wanted to dance, too.

And even though Dylan was running around like a crazer, Owen and Chloe were still dancing away to Justin Bieber.  :)  These kids are focused!

Dancing Kids

They love to practice their dance routine at home.  Especially after having just had their Music and Dance class at Discovery Point and learning more moves.





And then they go into doing the splits and seeing who can get their legs out wider.  Chloe tries, but she's just not as flexible as her big brother.

Music and Dance class

The kids love Thursday afternoons at Discovery Point.  Miss Brandie is teaching them a dance routine to Justin Bieber's song Baby, Baby, Baby.

I love the looks on the kids' faces as Miss Brandie is thinking up the next dance move for the next lyric. 

They are learning dance moves one lyric at a time, beat by beat and word by word for where their hands and feet are supposed to be.

They come home and practice together.

I love the looks of concentration on their faces as they dance to the music and not in slow motion as they do when first learning each move.  They're all so serious!
