Nick's school had a sock-hop during PE on Friday, Feb 13th.
Being a dance lover, I had to go, too. I partnered up with Nick for a few then led some kids in the dances like hand-jive and the Macarena...which they played at the end of all the 50s music.
I was getting sweaty, along with kids, and was reminded how much I love old music and dancing. I have been wanting to do a separate entry on the music stations I found on Dish TV: Groovy tunes and 70s stations, as well as the Salsa stations are really spicing up my life around the house!!!
Nick surrounded by our 2 next door neighbors, both in 2nd grade (and another girl who jumped in the photo) :)
Nick was spinning the hula hoop around his neck...
Doing the hand-jive...which I don't mind saying I can still whip out a strong hand-jive...
I went and wore my 50s Halloween costume, so I fit right in. The teachers all had poodle skirts on and the music teacher and PE teachers had taught the kids the hand-jive, the twist, and I tried to show Nick a bit of basic swing.
One funny note: when he heard about the sock hop from his PE teachers, he asked them if they would be learning "the pretzel" (from country moves I have taught him) and they said, "What?"
So of course, we did the pretzel!
