Dance Baby Dance !!!

Just felt like adding a post after a long time today. I really don’t want to add posts for the sake of doing it J. It needs to come from my heart I think.

Lots of things were going on for me for the last couple of months. I started my new job this Monday. But this blog is not about that. Vijay & I performed couple dance for Tamil Association program with 2 other friends couples. It was really FUN. We are going to do the same dance again this weekend for Indo-American association. Hope it comes out good. I choreographed the dance – medley of 3 folk tamil movie songs. Practice sessions were very fun managing with kids, work and with other dance schedules. It was hectic, but at the same time, it was real fun. I also performed one more dance with my daughter’s dance teachers’ group. It was a medley of instrumental music and the dance is more like semi classical, contemporary etc. Satvika also performed in her age group. So our schedules were crazy enough for us. Samanu is the only one who did not perform in our family J, but she learnt our couple dance steps (by looking at our practice sessions) and she dances whenever she hears the songs. Very Cute!

I think the most FUN part was after the performance on April 13^th. We all went to our friend’s house (who also performed with us). We took Satish & Aparna also with us as Satish gave a voice in our song mix “President Prem-gaaru oka manchi song masthu song pettandi”. We considered him as a participant in our dance J. We had a fun-fun party in their basement. We did a game – one person needs to suggest a song to play and next turn was Santharaam’s. He thought he could play best songs after each person. And for the most part, he could do that J. After that we had a dance session. All of us danced for lot of songs. Later Santharaam took an avatar of “Santhaa Master” like “Prabudeva Master” – and choreographed dance for each couple. It was hilarious. We really had so much FUN until 2 and after that we watched a movie “Chennaiyil Oru Naal” and slept after that. Not sure how many really watched the movie.

I felt that “After performance” session was much better than the “Practice” session - “Woooooowwwww”. Actually our friend Suresh says that like actor Vadivelu, but we started calling that as Suresh’s style Wow J.

But with all that fun, we have not practiced even one time for our next performance this weekend. Hope we keep the pace.

By the way, I forgot to mention, Vijay is the one who missed couple of steps in the beginning of the dance while entering for the couple dance. But his colleague after looking at the video told him that he did a wonderful job than me and his entry was super J. Enna ulagama da idhu!

I am happy that we all could do this in spite of our busy schedules, work, kids etc. Special kudos to all the kids – Satvika, Samanvi, Rahul, Sibi & Laksha (I included Samanu even though she did not co-operate very well whenever Vijay danced J but she was only 21 months old when we started our practice). Many more special THANKS to Vijay for taking care of the kids whenever I was in dance practice. Samanu still thinks that I am going for a dance practice every day. As soon as I pick my purse, she says “Ba-bye Amma”.

I think this dance will last in our memories forever !!!
