Quick rant .
Number 2 son ( 14 yo ) dances. He loves it I normally don't mind the running around. Heck I've spend hours in carparks till 1am waiting for him when he auditioned and got into the local production of High School Musical
I'm a very proud father !
It's good for his fitness, he's made some great friendships and he loves it so much. Can't really ask for anything more.
This week down here however is Dance Eistedfodd week ! So over the week he has 8 dances.
That's fine, but there's no times in the program, you've got to manually work them out and you can guarantee their running late.
So going to see him dance for 4 minutes tops takes out about 1 1/2 to 2 hours of my time ( normally I have to sneak out of work )
The other things is there's one dance style I really can't handle, that's tap. Don't get me wrong someone like Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire or Sammy Davis I enjoy but you can guarantee that the section before my son will be Under 6s solo tap !!!
There's only so many times you can hear "How much is that doggy in the window?" or " Good ship Lollipop ".
The only thing worse is Open Tap Group, 50 year old women all tapping away
Ah well, I've snuck out for a break ( been here since 9:30 this morning ( it's 3pm now and he's actually only been in one dance ) , they're only about 1/2 an hour behind and I'm using free internet. His Kick Section should be up soon...... I hope !!!!
It'll all be over by tomorrow ( Sunday ) 11pm ( for another year )
Rant Over
p.s. so far 3 gold for his group dances and a silver for his jazz solo dance.... a nice little haul this year
