Dance! Dance! Dance!
Dancing enhances our rhythmic abilities. Keeping to the beat of
the music isn't easy; and trying to remember steps and lead really
complicates things.
Mrs. Ann Garvey is a professional
ballroom dancer and dance instructor, who lives in our district.
We were very lucky to have her come and instruct us in the rumba,
swing, cha cha, and tango.
We finished up all of
our practice with the big dance on December 20th. All of the 8th
graders were in the old gym and Mrs. Garvey led us through the
various dances. Then Mrs. Garvey and her son, Brian, and Mr. and
Mrs. Garvey did some dance exhibitions for us. After that, we
had lady's choice and men's choice.
Thanks to the PTO for organizing
appetizers for us and thanks to all the parents who brought good
things for us to eat.
Thanks to the PTO and all the moms they got to provide refreshments.
And a special THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Mrs. Garvey for
making this ballroom dance experience possible.
