Black Top Boogie - Movin' to the Movies

Today the elementary school held their dance festival. They have been working and planning for it for months. This year they chose a movie theme: each dance went along with a genre of movies. It was an adventurous day, as the forecast said that it would rain most of the day. They actually performed twice, once in the morning and once in the afternoon.Both performances started off with a light drizzle. The morning performance ended with quite a bit of rain, but the afternoon one was much better. (I am glad I made it to both, something went wrong and I didn't get video of Mike's grade in the morning, so I was excited about the chance to record it in the afternoon.)

Megan and the third grade highlighted the Comedy. They were all minions and danced to Happy from Despicable Me. I love her bright blue sneakers. They helped me keep track of her in the sea of yellow shirts.

Mike and the fifth grade paid tribute to the sci-fi movie and danced to Men in Black. He really got into the dance. It was fun to watch him come out of his shell. He was super excited about his break dance section in the middle of the song. (Mike is in shorts with a black hat turned backwards and sneakers with bright greenish-yellow.)

It was a fun day, and even worth getting wet in the rain. What a fun way to kick off the last week of school!
