PE time – Tobogganing :)

Anything counts as PE time here :)
We were lucky to have a warm, sunny day in the snow – gotta love Vancouver.

Tobogganing was very fun.
My back got frozen as solid as an iceberg. Snow went all the way up my spine!

The last one was pretty good – I almost went way up the hill. I kept saying “I’m gonna die!”, but actually it turned out pretty good.

Lion Dancing

Tt has been attending a “parent/kid” Kung Fu introduction, which has been a blast. This past class was all about the tradition of the Lion Dance, which I’ve always mistakenly thought was the Dragon Dance. Anywhoo, again, a blast.

First everyone had a turn working the Lion’s head. The instructor showed them how to hold it, work the eyebrows and ears, flap the mouth, pick it’s nose with your foot…

He went through the entire ceremony and what each part meant, from waking the Lion to bowing your respects to bobbing up and down and finally putting the Lion back to it’s snoring sleep.

Tt and his Dad had to practice walking around like two parts of the same Lion, not a head and bum each with minds of their own… Tt had more fun as the bum. Shocking. Not.

Doing the dance! Neither quite got their “Horse pose” down for the Lion, but no matter.

Naturally they had to both come back with the head and scare poor wee brother Boo…

And that was the Dragon – I mean LION – dance!


Stars and Space

A very FUZZY cell-phone-taped version of Tt’s dance recital is up on his YouTube :)

You can’t miss him – he’s the only one not in leotard and a tu-tu…
He had a great time at Dance class – a little too much fun. As with piano, swimming, soccer and everything else, his teacher constantly had to tell him to STOP TALKING! Poor guy – he just has so many things to say, all day long… !!

Watch the post HERE on his YouTube acc’t.

Great job, Tt!

The Mad Loves Dance

Dance the Mad Loves way!

I made this dance.

That is fun!

I created it.

Dance it to medium music, which is not too fast, not too slow.
