Two weekends ago, we went down to Aurora, Utah to visit my sister Ginger. Ginger has her own dance studio, and every year she puts on a dance review in the spring. We go down most years and help her with the dance review. This year was especially fun because my niece Katelyn was in the dance review. Although she is the youngest dancer in the whole show (she is only 2 years old), she did a great job. It was so funny to watch her dance--she had so many hilarious moments. In the dress rehearsal, Katelyn's group was supposed to be performing a dance to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." For example, during the first half of the song, Katelyn just stood in place and sang the song as loud as she could. Then she decided to dance--just not the dance that she had learned and that everyone else was doing. She decided to improvise, and it was much more interesting to watch than the dance that the rest of the group was doing. Later, during the finale at the dance review, each group of dancers was supposed to come on stage, do a little dance that they had learned, then move to the side of the stage so the next group can come on and do their part. Katelyn came on with her group, then watched them dance and leave the stage. Once the rest of the group had left the stage, she looked around to make sure she had the stage to herself, then broke out into a freestyle dance. It was such a cute little dance, but hilarious! The crowd loved it, and so did Katelyn. After the dance review was over, Katelyn was still enthralled with being on stage. While we were cleaning up the auditorium, Katelyn was on the stage dancing by herself for another 45 minutes.
