So you think you can dance?
If you think you’re a great dancer, you have never seen my son, who at 20 months can do spins around you.
Where he’s picked this up is anybody’s guess.
Last night we were listening to CDs while doing our regular wrestling routine on the couch. Apparently, Sam really likes the music of Kimberly locke, who finished third in season 2 of “American Idol.” We were listening to her second CD, released late last year, and Sam decided to show me all his break dancing moves.
I kid you not. He stood on his head and spun around. He swung his arms around like people who do that wave motion move. He did baby circles. He even tried to do “The Robot.”
All the while he was clapping off and on in a pretty good approximation of the actual beat of the music. I was pretty impressed.
Then he applauded at the end of each song.
He certainly didn’t learn this from me. I didn’t even go to my high school prom, much less dance for fun. Nor do we watch music videos or break dancing shows.
Nevertheless, he’s got it down. I sense reality television in our future.
