Marina has been learning a number of dances in her gym class at school lately. They've been learning them for the sock hop tonight. Marina came home telling me about learning the Macarena and wanting to wear a poodle skirt. The outfit I ordered for her arrived earlier this week and she's been very excited to dance in it.
We arrived at the school early and she and some of her friends danced together. I was impressed at the steps they were doing to the 50's songs. And they were having so much fun in their poodle skirts! We had dinner in the cafeteria - hot dogs, popcorn and root beer floats. On our way back to the dance, she stopped to have her nails painted and got a couple of temporary tattoos.
Once we got back to the gym, the kids were doing the Limbo. After doing that for a while, they started some of the other dances, the Macarena and other line dances - all led by the gym teacher Mr. Norris. The fifth graders did their version of Thriller, which Marina loved.After two hours, everyone was wiped out. Our first sock hop was a lot of fun!
