Tappin' Feet are Happy Feet

I just returned from my "down time." I get 45 minutes a week to myself. I choose to tap with those 45 minutes. Every week I come home and show Mike and Jonah what I've learned. They're always unimpressed.

What is it about tap-dancing? I absolutely love it, but I guess it just seems cheesy to those who've never really tried it.

I stand next to a woman that's been tapping for over 30 years. She's always showing me what I'm doing wrong. There are also two men in my class. One is about five years older than me, has a wife and kids, and rocks. Yes, I just used that word to describe a tap-dancer. Come on--have you seen Happy Feet? Those penguins rock.

Quit smirking.

I just want it to be clear that this is Traci's blog. Yes, it is true that I am a part of the Falder Four, perhaps the founder, but not a contributor\creator of this blog. Also, I don't subscribe to my wife's belief that "tappin' feet are happy feet" nor do I want to see the movie. Just so we are clear. -Mike

I LOVE it. I'm so glad you're in. I love that Mike comments on his own blog. Do you make him read it Traci like I do Alex?

I am jealous. I would love to tap dance! I would be taking lessons if it was possible. But instead all I do is work and work...As for Mike's obstinance towards "tappin feet" I believe it is due to his own personal struggles with rythm. How I see it - with a big fan of dancing Penquins in the house, his desire to not watch Happy Feet will be short lived - sorry Mike.
