Let’s Dance…or not

Today’s post theme is dancing!

I caught the bug because of So You Think You Can Dance season finale last night!!!! Spill it – who else was watching???

* my feet look so weird – I have these tiny stubby toes :P  

My all time favourite routine from the whole night was the one with Cyrus, Twitch, Comfort and Christopher Scott! I’ll let you check it out below if you missed it – as it was EPIC!

I am so happy disappointed with the results of the show! I think they’re all amazing but I always had a soft spot for both Cyrus and Eliana. I really could care less about Chehon

Even little Lo was in the dancing spirit….

…He’s doing his own version of “Y.M.C.A” that he does with shapes instead: circle, triangle, diamond and square…..square really just looks the same as circle because, let’s be honest it’s hard to make a square with your hands!

* Colin’s parents brought Logan back that cute Florida Gators suit and we were just trying it on :) He was really into it. 

For those that don’t know (confess you haven’t been reading long enough) Logan is an amazing speller. This kid knew his Alphabet before 1. He has moved on from letters, numbers and phonics and now spells words better than ever.

See? I told you – he loves dance! 

He told me that when he grows up he wants to be a dancer. Now to decide which form of dance to put him in this winter. Any suggestions???

I love dancing myself. As most of you know, it’s not uncommon for me to log “dancing in my room” as a workout ;) However, in spirit of trying to keep at the pole workouts, after finishing my morning ZWOW and cycle I was far too tired to hit the brass as planned :(

See, writing these posts at night is sometimes a bad idea – the fact that the pole workout got vetoed completely ruined the flow of this dance post :P

* ZWOW #25 sucks! <—- in a good way, with a 30 burpee buy in – I was not loving it ;P …but I finished 3 rounds in just under 14mins. 

However I wish I did a bunch of pole holds to strengthen my arms…..then got down to some Frank Oceanwhich I am totally into right now :) Which was my original plan…..

BUT!

I’ve been fighting off sickness and I’m not going to lie I feel like absolutely crap so I think that’s all I’ve got for you today. If you need me I’ll be in my bed curled up with Logan all day :)

Questions:

1. do you like to dance?? anyone a skilled dancer?? take dance?? what genre???

I took ballet and tap as a youngster – hated it. My mom let me make my own decisions but I always tell her she should’ve just forced me to dance, as now I love it and regret not moving to another genre. 

Colin and I took ballroom, latin and swing as young adults and LOVED IT….but it got too expensive and we broke up so we quit. 

2. are you pleased with the results of SYTYCD???

3. any home remedies??? natural things you do to kick a sinus/cold?? 

My head feels so congested I am surprised I got through 4 miles on the bike a full ZWOW and yoga session before collapsing ;)

  1. I’ve been a Cyrus fan since Day 1 of the show! Love him and I really hope he has an amazing career. That group number was BUCK! :)

    I grew up dancing and danced for almost 14 years. Every genre from classic to county. Now I just dance around my house but one day I’ll get back in the studio.

    You should put Logan in dance! At his age its so good for coordination and balance. My nephew takes hip hop and loves it, but he says hip hop isn’t dancing. haha. Silly boy!

    I hope you feel better! Take lots of Vitamin C.

  2. When I was really little was in both ballet and hockey. Not the most common combination. ;)
    I have the same cold but am almost better now. My mom was giving me pills that seemed to help but I’m not sure what they are so I can’t help you there. :P
    Logan is just adorable in his Gators suit!

  3. I love to dance! But am not the best dancer. I never took lessons when I was younger, but I wish I had. Sometimes I am tempted to take lessons now. Maybe someday:) Nasal irrigation with saline solution. Ever tried it? It really helps clear things up for me without using harsh meds. Hope you feel better soon:)

  4. I love Zumba classes which is dancing. Great and fun workout! And of course I do the Happy Dance when I get a good time with my running.

    Haven’t been following the SYTYCD so can’t comment on that.

    For a cold, good old-fashioned homemade chicken soup, with lots of clear fluids.

  5. I don’t watch SYTYCD, but I do LOVE dancing.

    I think I love you more everytime you talk about doing a ZWOW I love those and Zuzanna. Anyone who follows her has to be awesome in my book

  6. Logan looks so cute in his little sweatsuit! So cute, and what a smarty pants! I was a little disappointed in the results as well…I mean I thought they were all extremely talented, I just preferred Cyrus for some reason! This is why I could never be a judge…I get too emotionally involved and would be biased! ha

  7. I am so amazed with his spelling skills! Bummer that you’re sick, though… rest up. My husband (and a few natural friends) swear by raw garlic, personally I have a hard time stomaching it. Another remedy is elderberry juice, we had a friend who pressed some for us and you eat a spoonful at a time… it was delicious. :)

  8. I have dance class tonight! I will be waltzing, one of my favs since I get the timing….

    whats SYTYCD? Lol

    My cold remedies are warm salty water snorted through the nose (it works basically it is the cheap version of the nettie pot) and curling up with my bulldog!

  9. I usually follow sytycd but I haven’t watched tv this summer, other then stuff we had on computer like breaking bad.

    I love to dance, started dance lessons at around 4, think I will put the twins in dance lessons as we all put on music and dance around here(was waiting for them to be potty trained, now that’s done they can go into the 2.5 year old dance classes).

    Logan spells, that’s just beyond my comprehension, my kids don’t know the alphabet, other than abc, did you do anything special(other than the usual reading, we do lots of that). Just curious!

    I wonder If the same plague is moving west of the city…everyone I know has the great combo of sinus cold and stomach flu! So lucky.

    • We were and are firm believers that you should cater to what your kids like naturally or are innately good at to build self-esteem and Logan just LOVES letters and numbers…..so when he wanted nothing but letters we made sure to buy him magnetic letters and floaty bath letters and such. It really just started at the library because they had all the big magnetic ones. I went to scholars choice and picked up a whole box and the rest is history. We work on phonics and such but really it’s ALL him…..so I wouldn’t worry if your kids don’t spell as Logan is slower than many kids on his physical capabilities ;) everyone it different

  10. I’m possibly the worst dancer in the world. I once took a hip hop class at the gym and didn’t even break a sweat because I couldn’t do any of the moves. But it’s really not surprising when you consider that I sometimes have difficulty turning while running without falling over :-)

  11. I completely agree I was hoping that Cyrus and Aliana would win. Cyrus was my favorite!

    I used to do competition dance when I was younger, so that show really is close to my heart! My sister teaches competition dance now, tap is her specialty and some of her kids have tried out for the show!

    I love that dance with Cyrus, Twitch, Comfort and Christopher Scott! Amazing! I love when the choreographer actually does the dance!

Add some awesome...
