Dance Moms (and Dads)!


My Dance Moms and Dads!

I'm sure some of you have seen the show Dance Moms.  The moms sit outside the studio glaring at each other, competing with each other and each one thinking that their child is the best dancer of all.   Ugh!

My child has been dancing since she was two.  Just like the Dance Moms on television,  I have logged my time sitting in a dance studio watching my child leap, spin and stretch.   


However, unlike the show Dance Moms, my fellow watchers (both moms and dads with an occasional grandparent thrown in) are a fun and sympathetic lot.   I have cried, laughed, complained about my child, had some of my greatest parenting challenges laid out for discussion and, best of all, enjoyed watching EACH child dance and move in their own unique way.  

Isn't this a better vision?


Love my dance moms and dads!!!
