the importance of dancing in the kitchen


We like to dance in our family.  None of us are any good. Not a single one.  

But dancing isn't about being smooth. Not to us anyway.  It's about an outward expression of emotion.  It's how we say, I love you, you make me happy, without words.

When I was a little girl I'd watch my parents dance or kiss and I remember feeling extremely embarrassed and thrilled at the same time.  Children love to know that their parents love each other. I still like it when my parents are affectionate. I guess it's something you never outgrow.

So my kids will see me dance with my husband. And they will sit back and belly laugh at their dad's silly moves. And I will scoop them up and dance with them, with my cheek next to theirs, twirling. Telling them without words, I love you, I love you, I love you.

Dance a little this weekend. You'll see.

Here's a little dance mix to jump start you.
