Rhythm

Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine dances and everyone makes fun of her since she is not what most people would call graceful?

Some people have rhythm, some people don't. And yet, some stubborn and determined folks will LEARN how to overcome their rhythm challenged body and persevere! SDS, you can do this!

Years ago I was shy and quiet. ha ha ha you say, no, it's a true story. My mom decided to send me to dance lessons to get me out of my shell. For 7 years I took tap and ballet classes at the Miss Louise dance school in St. Louis Park. I learned all the steps, practiced faithfully and still cried all the way through both numbers at the yearly recital.

One time my younger brother Terry came along when my Mom took me to a lesson. Terry was outgoing, energetic and begged for dance lessons. My Dad threw a fit but my Mom said "let's try it" Terry was a natural star and in the first year had two solo numbers.

Terry went to on study dance with the children's theater in Mpls, the Royal Winnipeg ballet, danced on a cruise ship for a few years, married a lovely ballerina and is still performing and teaching dance and music at a college in the Midwest.

So today I encourage you to tap your toes, spin your loved one around the room and find the rhythm in your soul.
