There are some things you just don't forget...

I did a story about a dance group today and was watching the practice, and taking photos. The teacher started giving critiques to the girls, "More energy. Smile! Point those toes."

I explained to the teacher that I danced for 16 years, and that I was having a hard time not critiquing as well.

I started yelling some of the classic comments to make the teachers and parents laugh. "Your arms are not noodles. Smile! Make it look fun! Make me excited"

The girls were dancing to Footloose. This made me feel ancient because I did dance routines to the "Footloose" soundtrack when it first came out, when I was eight years old.

It's reassuring to know that I could make a good dance teacher, if all my other careers fail. I might not be able to teach the girls to dance, but I can sure shout out the directions

Hee - maybe you could hire yourself out as a roving dance shouter. Just waltz into a class looking very important, toss out some of the classic lines, everyone pays attention, you head off again.
