I love that show, So You Think You Can Dance. I'm so amazed at how these young dancers can learn any style of dance in a few days. I watch them and wonder if I would have been any good if I took dance as a kid. I also wonder if one of those choreographers spent a week with me could I even learn a simple dance routine. I'm pretty sure I'd be awesome :)
That's the beauty of being 50 or older. You can pretend you may have been good at something but, oh shucks, it's too late to get started now. I might as well stick with raising animals. I wouldn't have time to be traveling all over performing anyway.
James and I got a note yesterday from Kate and Brittany thanking us for coming to their wedding and "showing off our dance moves!" HA! You see? We were teaching the young folks something. Really, I'm pretty sure they were making fun of us. It reminds me of a night many, many years ago when we lived in Salisbury, NC. Our nextdoor neighbor shared a birthday with James. One night he and his familly were celebrating Jimmy's birthday and invited us over. There was music and dancing and I recall doing the Electric Slide and other line dances with Jimmy's family. This is where I should mention we were the only white people at the party. When we went to say our goodbyes everyone was so nice to say how much they enjoyed "watching us". Not having us, but watching us!
Sure, we can dance. We just can't dance well.

No one was making fun of you! I'm sure they were just surprised to see Pannabeckers willing to be on the dance floor voluntarily! I can't speak for everyone, but Britt and I were impressed.
