My Little Baryshnikov…

October 16, 2012 By Lena

Avid readers of my blog will know that little Reid started dance lessons a few weeks ago. We knew he loved to dance, but we weren’t really sure of how he would take to dancing in an organized setting. Turns out… he loves it!

Toddler Dance is all about listening, following cues and of course, having fun. This past weekend, I had to skip out on the usual Saturday 8:30am class in favour of getting a little work done. So, it was a true father-son day at dance class. I asked my husband to take a quick video so I could see what Reid was up to, and when he came home, he showed me this:

Oh, Reid! Hear that? It’s Dancing with the Stars calling – they want their moves back! So proud of my little guy – he knows how to finish with a flourish!

(We’re still working on his Just Dance 4 moves – so far, he likes to groove to What Makes You Beautiful by One Direction, and Never Gonna Give You Up by Rick Astley. Talk about pop icons!)

            Same here! I think his infamous sideburn had something to do with him falling. ;) Also curious to find out what happened after…
